Hot on the heels (or lobster claws) of the best-selling Salvador Dalí phenomenon, Les dîners de Gala, TASCHEN presents the artist’s equally surreal and sensual viticulture follow-up: The Wines of Gala. A Dalínian take on pleasures of the grape and a coveted collectible, the book sets out to organize wines “according to the sensations they create in our very depths.” Through eclectic metrics like production method, weight, and color, the book presents wines of the world in such innovative, Dalíesque groupings as “Wines of Frivolity,” “Wines of the Impossible,” and “Wines of Light.” With a few wines chosen for the potency of their spell or for the glamor which dings to their history; with a few wines in whose every drop there lives a legend, whose every grape was ripened by passion; with a few wines to set the imagination aflame even if their taste charms us no longer with a few wines let us now praise the most glorified and sacred of the earth's fruit. We are the pilgrims of our own celebration; let us take now the paths that lead us to the vine: champagne will bubble first and inspire our feast. Next, bonged legends and the soul of the pase will be glimpsed inough. Shiraz wines.Minoan wines will tell us about the adolescent vine, and Lacrima Christi about the lessons learned through slow perseverance. French wines will reveal a soil tilled with care, dazzling with names full of an ancient rich sap. Sherry will pay homage to Dali's own country and, finally, the robust adolescence of California wines will bring this epic to a close. Readers, come share all the delights of taste, let your taste buds blossom. Here are mighty lords presented in fruit-like words; they will sow the seeds of our temptation and, breaking down the doors of our thirst, they will ripen our senses with the fire of their genius.
