Following up on the best-selling cookbook Les diners de Gala , in this delightfully eccentric guide the surrealist master shares his passion for the gift of the gods. The book explores the many myths of the grape, in texts and sensuous and subversive works by the artist, always true to his maxim: "A real connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes of its secrets". Hot on the heels (or lobster claws) of the best-selling Salvador Dali phenomenon, Les diners de Gala, Taschen presents the artist's equally surreal and sensual viticulture follow-up: The Wines of Gala.

Salgado spent six years with migrant peoples, visiting more than 35 countries to document ... |
