Book Club
/We love book club. In fact, for us it is mostly a wine drinking social club where we not only talk about the book, but we also use the time to catch up with our friends. When it's our turn to select the book, we pick from one of the myriad of books about wine that are on the shelves today. In the Book Club feature, we will share some of our favorite wine based books that we have read here at Qorkz, and we hope you enjoy them as well.
A Very Good Year: The Journey of a California Wine From Vine to Table
Situated amidst the lush soils of Sonoma County in the heart of California’s wine country, the Ferrari-Carano Vineyards produce some of the best-loved wines in America. Founded by casino mogul Don Carano and his wife Rhonda just over twenty years ago, the winemaker has won praise from consumers and connoisseurs alike for its affordably priced premium bottles, particularly its Fumé Blanc. In A Very Good Year, award-winning journalist Mike Weiss goes behind the scenes at this renowned winemaker to tell the story of how a bottle of this wine is created, from the first grapes picked by the hands of Mexican migrant workers to the vintage’s initial public tasting at the Four Seasons in New York
Wine Pairing For This Book
What you get in this book is the story of a bottle of wine made with love and care by someone who took great pride in their wine. The story vividly describes Sonoma from the cool foggy mornings to the hot afternoons. Want a wine from that terroir while you contemplate the region? Look no further than the Weir Pinot Noir from Brooks Note. The warm days help ripen the grapes while the cool evenings let the grapes ripen slowly and develop tremendous balance. We know you'll love it. And with 1 cent shipping on orders of 4 or more to California it's that much easier to love!
