Shafer Vineyards' Line on Wine
By Andy DemskyShafer Vineyards' Line On Wine offers a collection of hundreds of off-beat and informative nuggets of news from the international world of wine.Line on Wine answers all the questions that other books on wine simply don't:
-- In which country is grape-growing replacing cultivation of hashish?
-- What wine should you pair with fruitcake?
-- Where can you find the world's largest floating wine cellar?
-- Who cured hangovers by eating fried canaries?
In his forward to Line on Wine, The New York Times wine columnist Frank Prial writes, "What [wine lovers in the U.S.] lack are simple guideposts which forget lesson plans and suggest, light-heartedly, that sticking one's nose in a glass and frowning is not the only way to wine pleasure. The Shafers' little book is just such a guidepost. It recognizes our serious side but it tickles our fancy as well. It promises 'Facts, Figures and Fun."
