In this third Slurp Book Ik slurp dus ik ben (I slurp, therefore I am) Ilja Gort describes how you can savour not only wine, but life itself, and how this can bring you happiness. As well as practical lessons on drinking and buying wine, he also teaches us how to look. For Gort is a meticulous observer. In his witty stories, he captures the extraordinary in the ordinary. Such as everyday life in France, where the 1950s still seem very much alive, and of course his experiences at his wine château.
Featuring the 2011 harvest, with a choir of Dutch grape-pickers singing cheerfully about themselves and the grapes, and a crumbling castle wall. His hilarious descriptions of restaurants representing the two extremes of culinary evolution (from dubious roadside eateries to three-star palaces) have since become famous.
