I love books. Our house is full of them. Naturally as I am wine lover too, my shelves hold a number of wine books ranging from general wine reference books to specific country / regions, memoirs from famous wine personalities and works of wine related fiction (The wonders of Gigondas may have passed me by if I had not read about it in one of Peter Mayles excellent books on life in Provence.). They all have the one common thread – they make me try new and interesting wines !!
