Thirsty

This is not a wine book: this about living the good life while cherishing each sip along the way. For Tom Gilbey, the two are inseparable.

Hailing from the first British family to own a vineyard and chateau in Burgundy in the 1800s, an excellent taste for wine is in the Gilbey DNA. Discover, in mouth-watering detail, every wine Tom has dreamt of as he pens his love letter, every stage to transform your average grape into a stellar wine, how to savour the sweet flavours and nuances of tipple, each nifty trick you’ll need to finesse your wine vocab, how to ensure your collection becomes the envy of even the most seasoned of connoisseurs, and so much more.

Tom charts lessons from his three decades in the wine biz and five decades on the planet: from how to detect if a batch of wine is “good shit”, to maybe killing George Michael, to falling in love and using wine expertise to become a boozy Casanova: Tom is here to level up your vino game with 100 wines and myriad anecdotes. With this vino bible, your Thirsty days are over.
