The Grapes of Ralph - SIGNED - Ralph Steadman

1992 - Ebury Press, London - First Edition
"Wine is far too noble, patient and even courageous for ... phoney elegance,” and in this regard Steadman has always been The Man. He proves the point, with twisted satirical honesty of a sort almost never seen in the unfortunate canon of often tediously pretentious wine writing. Championing wine as it tears down those who take it too seriously, ‘The Grapes of Ralph’ is extremely refreshing.
