Novelist Robert Louis Stevenson wrote that “wine is bottled poetry.”



I just discovered that  Deborah Harkness, author of  A Discovery of Witches,  a compelling novel of magic and history and romance, also has a blog called Good Wine under $20. This award-winning wine blog is dedicated to celebrating everyday wine.

I recommend the novel and the blog. Here is an excerpt from the blog:

"So it is with great pleasure that I report that the 2011 Fish Eye Pinot Grigio still has a suggested retail price of $7 (though you can find it in the market for prices between $5 and $10), it is still delicious, it is still widely available throughout the country, and it is still excellent QPR. Expect zesty, pure lemon and lime aromas and to have those scents echo through the flavors. You might detect a nice peachy note as you sip, which takes off some of the bitterness that can be associated with Pinot Grigio.

This is a versatile, food-friendly wine that is light enough to pair with vegetables and salads at a weekend lunch, will be a great companion to asparagus and lemon pasta as you work your way into your spring recipes, and will be welcome at summer barbeques so if you see some on the shelf give it a try."







  Enjoy.    I eagerly await her second book in the All Soul's trilogy
