Tom Crago

Grand Crew is Tom Crago’s second book but he mostly makes videogames at his Melbourne-based studio Tantalus, where he works on titles like The Legend of Zelda and Age of Empires. His virtual reality artwork, Materials, was acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria for its permanent collection after featuring in the inaugural Triennial exhibition. With a PhD in art and philosophy from the University of Melbourne, Tom is more a wine lover than an expert.

Australian author

A full-to-the-brim blend of love, tragedy, philosophy and adventure, Grand Crew is the ultimate (complicated) love letter to Australian wine.

Jude is a 30-something sort-of musician made accidentally rich by a fortuitous business deal. Suddenly able to fund his obsession with wine and restaurants, he naturally embarks on a victory lap of Paris. While there, he is entrusted to open the Melbourne outpost of a beloved bistro and curate its perfect wine list. But is Australian wine enough? Is Jude enough? To find out, he’ll stare down rollercoaster luck, his own demons and falling for his best friend – all while leaning on his Grand Crew of wine-loving comrades. This audiobook includes an exclusive Q&A session with Tom Crago, the author, where listeners will learn how to sound like a wine expert and where Crago's love of wine began.

'This is a book about the wonderment – and its opposite – of being overseas on business. It is a kind of poker-faced essayistic comedy about tipping and strip bars, food (glorious and inglorious), taxis and vast, enthralling and unedifying quantities of liquor.'
The Age

'Witty, familiar and at times delightfully absurd, Grand Crew celebrates Melbourne restaurants and Australian wine in a global context, cementing their place on the culinary world stage. It’s long overdue.'
