Product Description
Review
... don't miss this book if you want to know what has influenced the wine world in the last 30 years - and why. --Culture supplement, Sunday Times
... For pure reading pleasure, this year's most entertaining drinks book had to be American wine and food journalist Elin McCoy's exhaustive and balanced biography of Robert Parker Wine and Spirit Magazine --Wine and Spirit Magazine
Elin McCoy's wonderfully readable biography shows how odd it was that Parker's tastebuds, out of all the tastebuds in the world, should have become so critical in how wines are judged and made. As McCoy comments at the end of her wise and witty book, the problem with Parker is simply the 'tyranny of one palate' --Seven Supplement, Sunday Telegraph
...for Christmas I was given quite a few wine books, and I devoured them with a passion. My favourite was the Emperor of Wine about the life of Robert Parker. It is an absorbing story about his obsession with wine and how he became one of today's iconic figures in the world of wine. --The Tamworth Journal
