Quirky wine basics book - Pls support an ED Author!

[Mrs Nicklin]

Hello EDF,

I'm a wine journalist based in East Dulwich and have just published my first book entitled 'Winebird's VINALOGY: wine basics with a twist!'.

It would be great to have some local support for this book and get the reviews going on Amazon etc. if possible, so if you're interested, please have a look! It's available now on most online book stores including Amazon(RRP ?8.99)as well as on Kindle (RRP ?3.99).

VINALOGY offers a different take on learning about wine, using storytelling, imagery and analogy (vinalogies) instead of dull winemaking facts. Did you know that Cabernet Sauvignon was the rugby player of wine grapes, for example? Or that Pinot Noir was the ballerina? VINALOGY focusses on the real building blocks of wine: the top ten red and white grape varieties and answers those frequently asked wine questions.

More info can be found on my website http://www.winebird.co.uk

Thanks very much for reading. Here's a picture of the rather lovely cover :)

Hi Helena - the book looks great, congratulations! Like many people, the subject interests me a great deal but I've always slightly glazed over at the sheer info overload - yours is presented differently and I already know more than I did half an hour ago...made me chuckle too, quite an achievement as I sit here at Heathrow having been up since 4.45am! I've downloaded to my Kindle and will do the honours on Amazon soon. Go for it, fellow EDFers!

All the best

Helen :-)

I haven't yet bought the book, but Helena has given me very valuable advice on which (affordable) wine to buy for events I have organised. She has always been spot on. Good Luck Helena.
