- Title
Tasting Victory: The Life and Wines of the World's Favourite Sommelier.
- Authors
Vink, Nick
- Abstract
Gerard's mother was a good cook, and in his early career, it seemed more probable that he would end up being a food expert than a wine expert - especially because his parents knew little about wine and he grew up without ever drinking any - quite an achievement for someone who grew up in I la France profonde i ! There are three aspects to his subsequent career: another hotel venture, more competitions and prizes, and extensive travel all over the world on different aspects of the wine business. According to the publication I Drinks International i , crowdfunding for Gerard Basset's memoirs was spearheaded by Jancis Robinson, and the target was to raise some £14,000.[2] The exercise was obviously successful because it raised more than twice this amount before the book was published in early 2020.
