Benjamin Wallace at the Free Library
Submitted by Wine Reviews from the Wine School
Benjamin Wallace – author of The Billionaire’s Vinegar – will be appearing at the Free Library of Philadelphia on Sunday, May 18, 3:00 PM for a talk and book signing.
Writer Wallace took six years to track down the players in this Byzantine story surrounding the world’s most expensive bottle of wine: the 1787 Chateau Lafite Bordeaux that sold at auction (1985) for $156,000. Everyone from Thomas Jefferson to Robert Parker get drawn into this facinating tale of deception and high-stakes wine collecting.
The story made news in both the Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker, but those tellings only scratched the surface. We haven’t had a chance to review the book yet, but its getting some great press already.
