Dali's book. The Wines of Gala - Taschen

Continuing the bestselling cookbook Les Diners de Gala, in this wonderfully eccentric guide, the master of surrealism shares his passion for the gift of the gods. The book explores many myths about grapes, in texts and the artist's sensual and subversive works, always in line with the maxim: “A true connoisseur does not drink wine but tastes its secrets.”

The TASCHEN brand is a leading and most recognizable publisher of books on true art, architecture, design, fashion, photography, pop culture, style, and travel.

From the amazing quintessence of the Basic Art series to the collectible SUMO editions. TASCHEN's mission remains a constant commitment to diversity and innovation. Regardless of the subject and price—from $10 to $10,000—the brand strives to treat each topic with the same respect, as well as to produce, design, and package each of its books beautifully and uniquely.
