Yes, it has been a while since I posted much here, which I feel bad about.  But no regrets. I’ve been working feverishly on completing my second book, Wine 101: An Introduction to Wine and Wine Tasting.  The book will be released at the end of this month.

It has been a sprint here at the end.  I’ve been completing the manuscript and now editing and designing this book so that it will look great as well as read great.

When Pour Me Another was published, I was approached by some people who confessed to me that they were intimidated about the idea of going wine tasting because they felt they didn’t know enough about wine.  They were afraid of being embarrassed or looking stupid at a wine tasting.

At the suggestion of a friend, I decided to write this book.  Wine 101 is an introduction to wine for those who are new to the subject or who, while they drink wine, want to know more about it.  It will help you understand the language used by wine snobs.  It will help you understand how wine is made, how to taste wine, and even how to read a wine label.

I’m excited about this book.  I will be launching the publication with a series of wine tasting classes.  More about the classes will be forthcoming.  But they should be fun and educational.  How can you lose?
