Didn't get #wine posted yesterday, but thought #poetrymatters littens might find this amusing. 😉 #LuckyInLove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickBoth entertaining and extremely informational, this book really appealed to the geeky side of the wine lover in me. I felt like a proud student when Jason writes about some obscure fact that I already knew & I was an eager student to learn more interesting and obscure facts about wines. I knew nothing about. I enjoyed his travels, his "must try one suggestions", and his sense of humor. Education is important & this is areally fun education! Cheers
so-soIn Vino Duplicitas.
In Vino Veritas means "in wine there is truth". So, In Vino Duplicitas would loosely translate into "in wine, there is duplicity".
This is an accounting of the rise and fall of the wine forger Rudy Kurniawan. A man who was once called a wine savant, & who ended up serving time for his crimes.
While this is a fascinating accounting, the book itself lacks somewhat in that department. A bit herky(cont in comments)..
The main branch of my local library was demolished last year to rebuild a new one. It is currently in a very unsexy store front. For a two year period, this "library" is my favorite library to visit.

so-soThe old bait and switch where the prologue sucks you into the action but then the chapters back up to years before and most of the book is not about the main event. It is disappointing, especially since the author even says in the text that the goal was to set the record straight about the event itself, and yet it gets the fewest pages.
