A journalist and wine expert, in slightly over 15 years Sangiorgi has managed to provide a different interpretation for understanding wine, being one of the first authors to have dealt with the so called “natural wines” thorny subject.

The two characters exchange professions, which will foster a mutual growth: Etienne approaches the world of wine thanks to his friend Richard Leroy, who in turn discovers the universe of comic strips and publishing. As you read, it will become impossible to take your eyes off the book. The common ideal of quality at all costs no matter the price lies on the background. It’s no wonder this book was brought to Italy by Sandro Sangiorgi with Porthos. Here, the two protagonists’ lack of unawareness of each other’s crafts and skills in their two dissimilar professions accompanies a lay reader throughout the discovery of viticulture and wine production. “ The Initiates: A Comic Artist and a Wine Artisan Exchange Jobs” by Étienne Davodeau is in fact a graphic novel dedicated to wine which takes place in the Loire area in France. Richard was frank in his reactions to graphic artists, even dissing one of my favorites, Moebius.No comic strip in this case, but rather a graphic novel published in Italy by Porthos Edizioni. Esta obra está editada por Ediciones La Cúpula, S.l. The meetings with other winemakers and restauranteurs seemed so fun. Sinopsis: El autor de Rural, con isbn 978-84-15-72454-4, es étienne Davodeau, el traductor de su idioma original de este libro es Raoul Martínez Torres, esta publicación tiene ciento cuarenta y cuatro páginas. I loved their times in the vineyard, shaping it and helping it reach fruition. I found this charming and unflaggingly interesting, with beautiful drawings by Davodeau. While the reader, through their exchanges, learns a lot about both vocations (for me, particularly winemaking!), these are two interesting and inquiring individuals who have gentle humor and much to say about life in general. Meanwhile, Leroy has Davodeau working by his side in his vineyard, and meeting barrelmakers, wine-selling restauranteurs and other winemakers. Davodeau assigns Leroy many seminal graphic novels to read, and together they attend conventions, and meet publishers and printers.

Graphic book writer Davodeau and artisanal wine maker Richard Leroy agree to teach one another their respective vocations. Although very different, it's as good as that one or better. The Initiates, graphic nonfiction, is by the author of Lulu Anew. If you want to see what I'm talking about visually, go here: It's unfortunate that we can't put visuals in our book reviews.
