FOR MI HIJO

My son just asked if I have a blog where I post a list of wines I've imbibed. Must be for his wine industry/marketing course. This, naturally, leads me to update my Relished W(h)ines of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE.
