Just back from an incredible launch week for Unquenchable, including packed events in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. I also met hundreds of passionate bookstore staff as well as radio and tv hosts who asked some lively questions.

The early media reviews have been reassuringly positive, including those from Toronto Life Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. I hope you'll join me at one of the events in twelve cities in November.

I'd love to hear what you think of the book ... please take a few minutes to post your own review of it on the site.

There are some terrific wines in my picks this weekend. Stock up on some wines that aren't scary for tomorrow evening.

Thank-you for your terrific response to the new wine and food pairing show! Just posted a new episode on pairing wne and pizza ... sounds like Sunday dinner to me :)
