A LABOR OF LOVE

Jonathon Alsop writes that, for true oenophiles, there is discipline, devotion and strict traditions to follow.  For the general population, oenophilia is simply “the love of wine”.
By nature, wine lovers are collectors: bottles, vintages, countries of origin, and more.
Wine Lover’s Devotional is a year-long collection of insight and eclectica for the passionate wine lover.  Each day of the week is given a wine-themed category – Monday: The Language of Wine; Tuesday: Wine Grapes; Wednesday: Wine & Food; Thursday: Putting Wine in its Place (Wine Geography); Friday: People Make Wine, Wine Makes People; and Saturday and Sunday: Weekend Wine Adventure.  Wine Lover’s Devotional uses hundreds of years of tradition, tasting notes, recipes, colorful trivia, and intriguing histories to inspire the oenophile in all of us.
