Stay Me With Flagons was Healy's love letter to wine, and to the
wines he enjoyed with friends during his long study of the subject.
He takes you on a comprehensive tour of Europe, visiting all the
key wine regions of the time, and sometimes commenting on the
impact of the Second World War on wine production. Originally
written in 1940, this edition was first published after Healy's
premature death in 1950 with notes from his great friend Ian
Maxwell Campbell, including insertions when he disagreed with this
friend! An elegiac and yet often humorous study of wine, which is
as readable now as it was then. With a new foreword by winemaking
and wine-writing expert, Fiona Morrison MW. The Classic Editions
breathe new life into some of the finest wine-related titles
written in the English language over the last 150 years. Although
these books are very much products of their time - a time when the
world of fine wine was confined mostly to the frontiers of France
and the Iberian Peninsula and a First Growth Bordeaux or Grand Cru
Burgundy wouldn't be beyond the average purse - together they
recapture a world of convivial, enthusiastic amateurs and
larger-than-life characters whose love of fine vintages mirrored
that of life itself.
