About the Work

Enrico Bernardo, widely known as the best sommelier in the world, has compiled a remarkable collection of the most exceptional wines of the twentieth century in his latest book, The Impossible Collection of Wine. Bernardo’s list is based on the virtues of rarity, terroir, taste, and historical mystique, and features wines any connoisseur would dream of having in their cellar. The craft of winemaking has remained largely unchanged despite technological and taste advancements over the past century, and in these pages, Bernardo celebrates the most exquisite vintages from around the world, from the 1928 Krug Champagne to the 1951 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 to the 1973 Stag’s Leap Estate SLV. This luxury edition features hand-tipped images and comes presented in a wooden crate, making it a must-have for any true wine lover’s library.
