"Great Writers/Great Drinkers" plays on the longstanding relationship between some of America's most prolific authors and their favorite pastime. Whether it's F. Scott Fitzgerald's bootlegging Jay Gatsby, or the colossal amount of wine consumed by Jake in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, we're celebrating classic texts by iconic authors that address this theme.
