Rozet, Georges. LA CONFRERIE DES CHEVALIERS DU TASTEVIN. Paris; Editions 
E.P.I.C.: 1950. A celebratory volume illustrating the early years, and the 
post-war resurrection, of the Chevaliers du Tastevin -an exclusive, 
invitation-only club that celebrates the joys of Burgundian wine. Formed in 
1933 by a pair of enterprising wine growers to promote the wines of 
Burgundy, which were in the midst of a deep financial slump, the group's 
first dinner was held amidst pomp, costumes, and ceremony in a beautiful 
wine cellar. After the war they bought the Chateaux Clos du Vougeot, an 
ancient Cistercian abbey and vineyard that has become their home. The group 
has chapters across the world, and their membership includes statesmen, 
artists, writers, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, and, of course, great 
connoisseurs of wine. Georges Rozet, the author of this book, was a 
founding member. Card covers. 9.5"x12", 109 pages, b/w plates; glassine 
jacket; glassine very slightly chipped, else a very nice copy. [06375] $100.00

Waugh, Harry. BACCHUS ON THE WING. A WINE MERCHANT'S TRAVELOGUE. London; 
Wine & Spirit Publications, Ltd.: 1966. Harry Waugh was a well-known wine 
merchant as well as a director of Chateaux Latour, who traveled to the 
great wineries of Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhine, Moselle, and other wine 
centers of Europe and America. "This diary takes us for a fascinating view 
behind the scenes, and gives a glimpse rarely vouchsafed of the day by day 
journeys involved in tasting critically and buying wines. A unique 
document; nothing quite so revealing of the profession of the wine buyer 
has ever before been attempted, and the writer succeeds magnificently in 
this brilliant portrayal". Hardcover. 5.5"x8.5", 203 pages, b/w 
illustrations, dj; jacket rubbed. [06374] $85.00
