Paperback. Condición: New. "Healy revelled in wine, wine in its proper place with good company and good food. Read this book and revel with him." -Sommelier IndiaStay Me With Flagons was Healy's love letter to wine, and to the wines he enjoyed with friends during his long study of the subject. He takes you on a comprehensive tour of Europe, visiting all the key wine regions of the time, and sometimes commenting on the impact of the Second World War on wine production. Originally written in 1940, this edition was first published after Healy's premature death in 1950 with notes from his great friend Ian Maxwell Campbell, including insertions when he disagreed with this friend!
