Since the library was closed yesterday afternoon due to the weather, I took advantage to read! I hope all of you enjoyed some reading time & didn’t spend the whole day shoveling the driveway. I thought about posting a list of books about being snowbound…but I’m getting REALLY tired of snow. Then I thought about garden books – that was just depressing as I looked out my window at my snow covered garden. I finally thought of the perfect theme: Books about wine! I went on a tour of some Finger Lakes wineries on Sunday & (despite the weather) thoroughly enjoyed myself. At Bloomer Creek, as the woman poured the Gamay Noir, she said “picture yourself on a beautiful spring day, on a picnic near the lake” and you know, for a brief time it did feel like spring. Here are a couple of suggestions of books the somehow relate to wine (courtesy of St. Charles Public Library) :
Blackberry Wine by Joann Harris: A tale narrated by a 1962 Fleurie. From the author of Chocolat.
The Vintner’s Luck by Elizabeth Knox: An interesting story of the friendship between a man and an angel. The friendship begins in Burgundy in 1808 & lasts a lifetime.
