I like to look to see what new wine and drink related books are coming out just to see what's interesting and peculiar. Here are a few titles, all interesting, some peculiar, but not all seemingly worthy of purchase.
Bourbon: 50 Rousing Recipes for a Classic American Spirit (Jan 2010)
There's no description at Amazon as to what this book will contain. But I'm pretty sure the title delivers all info we could possible want. This is rated a "BUY".
The Best Wines In the Supermarkets (2010)
Really? We need this? Hmmm! Ok. I'm not a book publisher or an editor, so what would I know. But it does strike me that this book might alternatively be named, "How I learned to Love Gallo and Constellation". This book is rated "DON'T BUY"
Into The Earth: The Wine Cave Renaissance (Nov 2009)
It does seem there has been a Renaissance in cave digging, at least in California. They are expensive. Why do them? I suspect this book will answer the question. This book is rated "BUY".
When Wine Tastes Best: A Biodynamic Calendar for Wine Drinkers (Nov 2009)
Come on, shouldn't this book really be entitled: "Astrology for Wine Lovers". This Book is rated "DON'T BUY"
Been Doon So Long: A Randall Grahm Vintology (Oct 2009)
Are you kidding? Ever read the Bonny Doon Newsletter. Plus, it has a forward by Hugh Johnson. This Book is rated "A BIG BUY"
Whiskey & Philosophy: A Small Batch of Spirited Ideas (Oct 2009)
Epistemology, Aesthetics, Metaphysics, and Whiskey? Oh yea! I think so. This book is rated a "BUY"
