The Word Is Out!
The word is getting out, Bookshelf Wine is being highlighted at June 4th Gold Hill Country Western Music Festival at Saureel Vineyards in Placerville. Bookshelf Wines will be in the four bands’ “green rooms” and Sheila and I are doing a tasting for the VIP ticket holders! Will be fun… If you have not been at Saureel you should go to an event as this is a great music venue. If I were a beatnik in the late 50’s, I would say this is the coolest place!

A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle
This lovely light-reading book chronicles the trials and tribulations of a couple who move from England to the South of France. From language issues to remodeling their 200 year old stone home, Mr. Mayle takes you month by month through their first year journey to a new place. They learn about their neighbors, local customs, local food and restaurants and grape harvest. Mr. Mayle is the author of several books, one being A Good Year of which a movie by the same name was made. “A Good Year” remains my favorite movie! Bookshelf Wines Club members should check it out. Dinner and a movie anyone? I can’t wait to read…

Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle
Another light-reading book by Peter Mayle. Set in Provence (bet you would have never guessed!), Peter delves a little deeper into the life and culture of southern France. Literally, he digs deeper by exploring the truffle market and some of the underground (pun intended) dealings and shady characters involved in the business. Enjoy reading this book on the porch with a glass of Bookshelf Wines Viognier. With a glass of Rhone varietal Viognier and a book about Provence, you’ll be a virtual traveler to the south of France.
