The Wines of My Life presents 75 exceptional wines chosen by world-renowned French sommelier Eric Beaumard. In this new illustrated memoir, Beaumard reflects on some of the most flavourful wines in the world: from Chateau Petrus created in the Bordeaux region to Chateaux Rayas from the Rhone valley, and from delicate whites to robust reds. Along the way, he reveals that a budding career as a cook's apprentice was cut short by a motorcycle accident that deprived him of the use of his right arm, and how, after months of recovery, he turned his interest in cooking into a life-long passion for wine. Full of vineyard secrets, fascinating portraits of winemakers, and serious meditations on life, The Wines of My Life is an unforgettable story of one man's journey, and the indelible wines he tasted along the way.
Éric Beaumard is one of the world's most renowned sommeliers. He is currently sommelier-in-chief and director of the Michelin-rated restaurant Le Cinq at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris and oversees the cellars of all European Four Seasons establishments.
