The Paperback is Coming, and come to see me in Farmington!

Download file I just fished my first copy out from the mailbox. Synchronicity was working to keep me humble and not enjoy the event too much, because almost in the same moment I received a note from an Ontarioan lacerating me for the mistakes in the Francais. I know. I know. Some were mine (in the book I do confess my French is awful) the ones that aren't mine are more embarrassing. In fact they are terribly embarrassing. Fingers and toes crossed that all are corrected in this version of the book. The recession-priced book will hit the book stores the first week in May. ALSO, LIVE IN THE WEST HARTFORD VICINITY? Come and shmooze with me at the Farmington Valley Jewish Center as part of the JCC book festival. +++Join us on Sunday, April 19 from 4-6 p.m., for a fascinating talk from Alice Feiring, New York Times Best-Selling Author of "The Battle for Love and Wine." The book documents her journey to discover biodynamic wines. Feiring makes an argument for wine authenticity through adherence to old techniques. She's against what she calls Big Wine—viticulture as business and technology—and blames the shrinking appreciation for hand-vinified, long-aged Old World wines on, among other things, the UC–Davis School of Enology and Viticulture and the wine writings of critic Robert M. Parker Jr. Organic and biodynamic wines will be available for tasting. They will be accompanied by good food, including dessert from Mozzicato's, Harvest, and others. Tickets are only $18 each before April 18, or $120 for a Table of 8.
