Some may remember Robert Finigan's private wine newsletter, published from 1972 to 1990. Others will know him as the author of the esteemed Robert Finigan's Essentials of Wine. As a critic-at-large, Finigan has dined in the best restaurants and tasted in the finest cellars of the world, and in Corks and Forks he jovially recounts his experiences and the celebrity chefs and winemakers he met along the way.
The events Finigan took part in are now legendary. For the famous Paris Tasting of 1976, Finigan recommended many California Cabernets and Chardonnays that shockingly outpointed their French counterparts. With nine of the world's most distinguished wine tasting professionals, he conducted the re-evaluation of the 1855 Bordeaux classification — the first in 140 years. He has stepped into the private kitchens of Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, James Beard, Jeremiah Tower, Michel Guerard, and Jean Troisgros, and sipped wine with Robert Mondavi, Ernest Gallo, and Kermit Lynch — to name just a few of the luminaries profiled in this delightful collection.
As much a chronicle of the developments in food and wine as it is a memoir of the man who witnessed them, Corks and Forks is sure to whet anyone's palate.

Corks and Forks: Thirty Years of Wine and Food
A nice little guide to everything restaurant-related. The format is colorful and full of charts, pictures, graphs, quotations, and the distracting attention-grabbers to be expected in modern textbook. Also textbook-like is its attempt to be authoritative and comprehensive, presenting multiple points of view on issues like restaurant reviewing and denying authorial bias.
Definitely not something you sit down and devour, novel-like, for the sake of enjoyment. But an interesting read, nonetheless.
(Page 47 has a typo. "New Yrok" is not a place, Dornenburg and Page. Please rectify this in future editions.)
