My first blog, Wine Outlook, was sorta left Behind months ago… I only occasionally update it, mainly to give announcements about Rosenblum Cellars, such as our upcoming Open House and the like. (It’s hard enough to keep one going, you know?) But since Behind the Vines will disappear from the blogosphere in a week, I need to find […]
In case you missed the announcement, or you read it and have since forgotten….
Go ahead and pick up your copy of Tasting Pleasure: Confessions of a Wine Lover by Jancis Robinson. You can get it from Amazon ($16.20 new or as low as two bucks from other sellers), Overstock (same price new), or your library (Free!). […]
I’m quite happy to announce that I will be hosting the fourth edition of the Wine Book Club here at Behind the Vines. Dr. Debs came up with this idea back in December, as a way to help us keep our new year’s resolutions about reading more wine books, a kind of companion piece to Wine Blogging Wednesday created […]
Since I’ve been reading more than normal in the past few months—just finished another Ruth Reichl book before falling asleep last night (review to come soon)—I hope I can continue this streak for Wine Book Club 3. Unfortunately, Lenn Thompson, our host, did not choose the George Taber book I already have on my shelf. Instead, […]
First, I would like to commend Tim from Winecast for his superb choice in material for the second Wine Book Club, created by Dr. Debs. From the first sitting with Noble Rot: A Bordeaux Wine Revolution by William Echikson, I knew it was going to be a good read. An engaging writing style pulled me in […]
Picture me in the back row, hunched down at my desk so the teacher won’t call on me. Yeah, that’s me—the one who didn’t finish the reading assignment.
But don’t blame it on the book, Vino Italiano. I’ve actually had this one for a few years, bought to prepare for training wait staff at the Italian restaurant […]
Now that we’ve established the Wine Book Club, let’s get down to the details:
The book—Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch.
Who’s hosting—David McDuff from McDuff’s Food and Wine Trail
The deadline for your book report—Tuesday, February 26
Remember, we have more time than we do for Wine Blogging Wednesday!
Oh, and by […]
When Dr. Debs asked if I and fellow bloggers would be interested in a wine book club, I thought it a great idea. I don’t read nearly enough, especially when it comes to wine books. Deadlines are always good motivators for me, maybe because I sometimes miss the adrenaline rush of finishing a paper just in […]
