Ralph Steadman fan? Wine fan? This journal is for you. Seperated by reds, white, rose, port, etc. Rate the wine, where it's from, vintage and price. Plus, Steadmans classic style pictures.

Ralph Steadman is a very wicked person. Has no respect for nothing, this guy. Anybody who could do drawings for Hunter Thompson couldn't possibly get serious enough to do justice to wine, could he? The Grapes of Ralph is a semi-serious, very funny look at the world of wine by a guy with a truly enviable talent for illustration. His drawings range from wistful to wildly exaggerated. The text, which is sometimes as funny as the drawings contains a good bit of information along with the humor. I bought two copies, one for the bookshelf and one to cut up and frame in the winecellar. --Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE and the novel bang BANG. ISBN 9781601640005

Ralph Steadman is a wonderful artistic talent. In this book he combines his love of wine, humor, and his comedic illustrations. If you are a true wine lover (i.e. someone who just doesn't take the whole wine tasting thing too seriously, but knows what she or he likes) you will thoroughly enjoy this book. It is also a wonderful gift for wine-lovin' friends.Enjoy!
