We have often thought of
and heard about "food for
thought" but it took Frank
Schoonmaker to give us bever-
ages for thought, in his latest
book on the selections and
uses of Wine. Some 10 years
ago he graduated from Prince
ton and spent the intervening
years committing back and
forth across the wide chilly
Atlantic. His first writing
was a guide book to enable
travellers going abroad for the
first time to really enjoy them
selves and see what they
should see. In all of this wan
dering about, his hobby was
chatting with wine growers
and learning all there was to
know about the nectar of the
Gods.
So, on Thursday before quite
a distinguished audience of
diplomats and officials at the
Shoreham Hotel, he will dis
cuss wines of all shades and
kinds.
