From Persia to Napa: Wine at the Persian Table
A lavishly illustrated book which presents a history of wine-drinking in pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia....An excellent chapter on  Wine and Persian Poetry ....An account of the Darioush winery....A selection of recipes chosen to go with particular wines. --The Times Literary Supplement, Jan 25, 2007This is much more than just another coffee table decoration about wine and food, or both. A lavishly illustrated volume, it is the third book written by Najmieh Batmanglij in her passionate promotion of Persian cuisine and, in this case, the rich and - despite Tehran's strict Muslim regime - continuing Iranian love affair with wine. --WINESTATE, Nov/Dec 2006
