Robert Parker - Les Sept Péchés Capiteux #[nn]

From French publisher Vents d'Ouest, this 2014 album from Simmat and Beudobut takes a playful, caricature-driven look at the world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker. The cover says it all: a jovial, larger-than-life Parker stomps grapes barefoot in a wooden vat, holding a bottle in one hand and a glass of red in the other, his expression radiating pure, unapologetic pleasure. It's a warm and witty visual promise for what looks to be a thoroughly entertaining romp through the world of fine wine and the man who shaped it.
