Quirky wine basics book - Pls support an ED Author!

Recommended Posts

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 :-)

    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉  
    • I will find out. Haven't been up there yet!
