Riassunto

Winner of:
Gourmand Magazine Best US wine book translation
Slate Cartoonist Studio Award nominee

A graphic novel that explores the nature of one’s vocation, this book offers a look at the daily devotion to craft in two dissimilar professions. Étienne Davodeau is a comic artist—he doesn’t know much about the world of winemaking. Richard Leroy is a winemaker—he’s rarely even read comics. But filled with good will and curiosity, the two men exchange professions, and Étienne goes to work in Richard’s vineyards and cellar, while Richard, in return, leaps into the world of comics. Providing a true-life representation of how both professions work, this insightful book investigates two fascinating fields, exploring each man’s motivations and ultimately revealing that their endeavors and aspirations are not much different.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

One of the best books about wine I've ever read...illustrates the rewards of remaining curious and thoughtful when it comes to your life s work, and what you can learn from others by listening and observing. --Jameson Fink

A fantastic work which illuminates just how similar the approach to being successful in any artistic field is... like the process of producing a truly special vintage grape, or the meeting of minds between writer and artist on a project both really believe in, we get something really special here. It's a fascinating read. --Page 45
