Praise for Gerald Asher’s A Vineyard in My Glass: “Gerald Asher’s name snaps wine types to attention for good reason . . . shimmering, detailed prose [that] can often relay a wine’s cultural tale in a single sentence.”—Jon Bonné, San Francisco Chronicle “There is a timelessness to his writing . . . a literary pleasure.”—Lettie Teague, The Wall Street Journal
Every wine has a story. In this collection of elegantly written essays from the past thirty years, updated with a new introduction and endnotes, renowned author Gerald Asher informs wine enthusiasts with insightful, engrossing accounts of wines from Europe and America that offer just as much for those who simply enjoy vivid evocations of people and places. Asher puts wine in its context by taking the reader on a series of discursive journeys that start with the carafe at his elbow. In his introduction, Asher says, "Wine . . . draws on everything and leads everywhere." Whether the subject is a supposedly simple red wine shared in a Parisian café or a Napa Valley Cabernet tasted with its vintner, every essay in A Carafe of Red is as pleasurable as the wines themselves.

The Red Lady is a homage to the classic stories in the form of a novel, where Étienne, a talented French artist accustomed to the good life at court, is compelled to leave behind all these comforts after falling out of favour due to an affair and travel through the woods in France seeking a living through his songs. One dark night, he crosses paths with a mysterious woman bearing a red hood and a black sword, with which she saves him from a beast arisen from children’s stories. By her side, he will begin a strange quest of which he knows very little and in which he will discover that fairy tales have a spine-chillingly real backstory. ---- I’ve been chased by wolves on moonless nights. I’ve walked through crypts inhabited by the walking dead. I’ve faced terrors that would make the bravest turn pale. I’ve ridden with the ghostly hunt, brandishing cold iron. I’ve wielded a howling sword that wanted to devour my soul. I’ve seen things that shouldn’t even exist die. I’ve done it all in pursuit of a goal that I didn’t understand. But this is not my story. It’s hers.
