What I'm Reading Now

Amazon.com: The Oxford Companion to Wine, 3rd Edition: Books: Jancis Robinson

This is a simply amazing wine book. It is a dictionary of terms relating to wine, grapes, and regions.

One minor quibble. There is an article in this book on
Gorbachev
. It focuses mostly on his crackdown on alcoholism in the USSR. It fails to mention that he has a port-wine staim birthmark on his forehead. IN A BOOK ON WINE. Wouldn't you think people would want to know that?
