Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last by Wright Thompson

5.0

I don’t drink alcohol, never have and I’m closer to 50 than 21. My brother is a wine connoisseur who just told me about friends of his who shared a rare bottle with him bc for reasons lost on me, it had an expiration date. I didn’t get how he spoke about that experience until I finished this book. The sharing of a really good bottle of aged, rare alcohol is special bc that’s it. There is no more and it’s gone forever never to be replicated exactly. I get it now. Really enjoyed how this book intertwined two family histories, presents, and futures.
