About the Work

Assouline’s latest addition to the Ultimate Collection, The Impossible Collection of Wine: The 100 Most Exceptional and Collectible American Wines, envisions a cellar filled with the finest American wines. Author Enrico Bernardo, Best Sommelier of the World 2004, selects wines from the 20th and 21st centuries produced by the best vineyards across America, celebrating vintages from the legendary 1964 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour to the striking 2010 Ultramarine Blanc de Blancs. This collection reflects the diversity and beauty of American wine, taking into account rarity, terroir, taste, and historical mystique. Bernardo invites readers on a journey through the unique history of American wine, from its beginnings with the Founding Fathers to the momentous Judgment of Paris and the distinct Napa Valley culture of today. Presented in a traditional wooden wine box, this hand-bound, oversized luxury edition features hand-tipped authentic wine labels and is a must-have for any lover of American wines.
