Download or read book The Pope of Wine written by Leslie A Hennessy and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Aide de Corps for General Eisenhower during World War II Alexis's friendship triumphed all the way through Ike's Presidency of the United States. Alexis was the personal friend of Grace Kelly's and vacationed in Barbados and Haiti with Barbara Walters. Always in the mix with wine visionaries such as Robert Mondavi of Napa Valley, Baron Phillippe Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux France, or entertaining at his Chateau with his third wife the famous actress Arlene Dahl, Alexis seemed at home in a life style that most people would die for. He lived in a plush mansion in New York City and enjoyed his vacations at his beach house in the Caribbean. He owned and managed Chateaux Prieure Lichine and Chateau Lascombes in Bordeaux and three vineyards in Burgundy France. Alexis and four partners purchased the Chateau Prieure in 1951 for sixteen thousand dollars. The immigrant from Russia, would build the Prieure to such stature that his son Sasha would sell it in 1999 for twenty-eight million dollars. Through all of his adult life the wine industry was his pulpit. From introducing gas driven tractors to replace mules and horses for cultivation in the Bordeaux vineyards, to bottling small batches of wine, Alexis Lichine was unbelievably ahead of the wine curve. He literally changed the face of advertising (and ruffled many feathers in Bordeaux) as he installed the first outdoor billboard campaign proudly promoting his own Chateaux and tasting rooms. He was so influential in the wine .business that he convinced the California wine makers early on to use varietal names on their wine labels such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir instead of European copied names such as Sauterne and Rhine wine. Add to this mix were three comprehensive wine books under his penmanship.

Download or read book The Gourmands Way written by Justin Spring and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of six writers on food and wine whose lives and careers intersected in mid-twentieth-century France During les trente glorieuses—a thirty-year boom period in France between the end of World War II and the 1974 oil crisis—Paris was not only the world’s most delicious, stylish, and exciting tourist destination; it was also the world capital of gastronomic genius and innovation. The Gourmands’ Way explores the lives and writings of six Americans who chronicled the food and wine of “the glorious thirty,” paying particular attention to their individual struggles as writers, to their life circumstances, and, ultimately, to their particular genius at sharing awareness of French food with mainstream American readers. In doing so, this group biography also tells the story of an era when America adored all things French. The group is comprised of the war correspondent A. J. Liebling; Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein’s life partner, who reinvented herself at seventy as a cookbook author; M.F.K. Fisher, a sensualist and fabulist storyteller; Julia Child, a television celebrity and cookbook author; Alexis Lichine, an ambitious wine merchant; and Richard Olney, a reclusive artist who reluctantly evolved into a brilliant writer on French food and wine. Together, these writer-adventurers initiated an American cultural dialogue on food that has continued to this day. Justin Spring’s The Gourmands’ Way is the first book ever to look at them as a group and to specifically chronicle their Paris experiences.
