Untrodden Grapes.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postI picked up the book Untrodden Grapes not out of an interest in wine or some guy's wine-themed travels, but because of the drawings inside.
They are fantastic. Fun. Really wonderful bits of caricature and scribbled, ink-splotted, delicately-washed-with-color images.
Frankly, the whole wine thing that got going in this country after the movie "Sideways" is of little interest to me, since I am a Philistine when it comes to that.
Wine, I mean, not movies.
But back to the book. Great art work. The artist and author, Ralph Steadman, traveled to the far reaches of the globe to various wineries and wine-related locations. He drew just about everything he saw, from dogs to fields to cities to workers. It's really a wonderful collection of images, which could stand on their own with or without all that pesky text.
And, I got the book for only $7 on the bargain rack at Barnes and Noble.
