1. THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF WINE (Sterling Epicure, 2012, 692 pages,
ISBN 978-1-4027-8184-1, $24.95 US hard covers) has been edited by
Howard G. Goldberg. The essays come from 29 different contributors --
156 articles from the pages of the New York Times. Authors include Eric
Asimov, Frank J. Prial, Florence Fabricant, Terry Robards, Frank Bruni,
William Grimes, Howard McGee, R.W. Apple Jr., Goldberg himself, and
others. It is a good gift book, covering the previous three decades of
New York Times wine coverage back to 1980 when wine knowledge really
began to blossom in North America. Topics are vast and tiny: food
pairing, corkscrews, major wines, minor wines, restaurant experiences,
newly emerging wine regions, and the like. Goldberg was a NYT editor
from 1970, and wrote about wines until 2004. Asimov took over then, and
continues to do so. Good bedtime reading. Quality/Price rating: 90.
