Front cover shows a Chateau Yquem 1975 bottle. Layout is so great you know you are going to enter a whole world in itself when reading this book. Pictures are beautiful even if they should not be considered as the best part of this book. Topic itself is so important that you would expect nobody else than Olnney to master it. He does it with dexterity. This book was written long before the internal war between owners of the castle. Lur Saluces family suffered during the selling process of this estate. Have you ever tasted Chateau Yquem wine? It's a divine pleasure you can experiment buying a recent bottle from the cooperative shop inside Yquem village. Price will start around 150 dollars a bottle. I remember my grand-mother forcing us (we were 7 years old)to drink 1949 Chateau Yquem wine on Christmas dinners. "You will never forget it" she said. None of my cousins neither myself did forget 1949 Chateau Yquem or our wise grand-mother.
