The Emperor of Wine by Elin Mccoy
Presents the story of how an American lawyer caused a revolution in the way wines are made, sold and talked about. This book tackles the questions that swirl about Parker, and shows how he became both worshipped and despised, revered as an infallible palate by some and blamed by others for making the world's wine industry into a global market.
Elin McCoy met Robert parker in 1981 and has followed his extraordinary rise ever since. In telling Parker's story she gives readers an unmatched, authoritative insider's view of eccentric personalities, bitter feuds, passions, payoffs and secrets of the wine world. This fascinating portrait of a modern day cultural colossus shows how a world that was once the province of gentleman's clubs and the pastime of an elite has turned into a hobby for the middle class and how one man has revolutionized the way the world thinks about wine.
