Enrico Bernardo made his name at Le V, the restaurant at the Four Seasons George V, in Paris and in 2004 was named Best Sommelier of the World, after winning the titles of Best Sommelier of Europe in 2002 and Best Sommelier of Italy in 1996. As a restaurateur, Enrico has created and owned several Michelin star-holding restaurants (Il Vino, Goust, Villa Madie), focused on pairing the perfect wine with each dish—and the perfect dish with each wine. Bernardo consults for numerous food, wine, and art de vivre companies worldwide, in addition to cooperating with the Association de La Sommellerie Internationale to promote wine culture for a new generation. He is the author of six books, including How To Taste Wine (2006), How to Pair Wine (2011) and The Impossible Collection of Wine (2016). His dynamic nature and his desire to keep broadening his knowledge guided him in 2018 to undertake a world wine trip, with the aim of meeting and getting to know the protagonists in order to treasure and spread their stories, and also to bring unknown talents to light.

THE ART OF LUXURY BOOKMAKING
Since its beginnings in 1994, Assouline has been dedicated to creating books that are as informational as they are beautiful works of art. The respect for the product and the process of creation is evident in every facet – the traditional technique of hand-binding covers, the imagery that transports the reader to another place and time, the luxurious thickness of each page.
