This has been such a strange and wondrous time of dwelling vividly in the unknown: Since receiving first copies of Sippin' on May 11, only yesterday I received first copies of the softcover. The first copies had flaws, and the version after, which delayed by these weeks the release of final edition. I hope you like Sippin' and will add a Sip of your own. I am thrilled and relieved that quite a few people who have seen the first flawed copies that I was "showing and telling" at every opportunity were very complimentary. Hopefully folks who read Sippin' will agree to add a Sip and also to begin to use the WineSpirit website, the WineSpirit Tasting Room, now under construction, to connect with each other in sharing answers to questions and raising new questions, as provided in the book. If you are within reach of Napa, please partake of WineSpirit programs and activities, as in this Sunday, May 31, creating a video interview with storied California wine maker Mike Grgich. Hopefully, one outcome of Sippin' connecting people will be the generation of WineSpirit activity well beyond Napa, throughout the U.S. More on that later. or sooner???
