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 :-)

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
