Wine lovers lost a dear friend this year with the death of Steven Spurrier. But he left us a final bequest that should delight us for years to come: the Académie du Vin Library. Named for Spurrier s 1970s school in Paris, where he educated expats in the joys of French wine and schooled the French that the New World had caught up to them, this imprint aims to publish new works about wine as well as older works that have gone out of print but should not be forgotten.
