A rollicking, informative power book to help wine consumers and members of the trade remove the hot air from how we talk about wine. Interpret wine reviews, wine lists and poseur conversation. Generate your OWN language and find your "desert island" wine. A consumer review: "I have found your book interesting and enjoyable. Had guests show up so have not finished it. As a mathematician by early training and disposition, your observations reminded me that people are people, no matter who they are, what they do, or where they do it. You might be asking yourself how does being mathematically inclined relate to people being people. Well, for me, human behavior is relatively predictable and when combined with that of others then it follows the rules of any self-organizing system. Your descriptions of individual behavior and the industry as a whole correlate closely with almost any area of human focus and endeavor. Being reminded of that is always good, because I am one of those people. So, thank you. As to your advice on how to describe wine, I completely concur but would suggest that, at least for me, you must experience Yuk to be able to experience Yum." ~HC

Christian Lane lives in Sonoma County, California with his wife and pets, which include a handful of Vitus viniferae named Carmine, Sarah, Charles and Kenneth. He's a vigorous and busy consultant in the beverage industry and Internet spaces. He penned the “Regularian Manifesto” in the blogosphere at the top of the millennium and continuously seeks to expose blowhards to this more self-empowering way of approaching the wine life. Christian enjoys all well-made wine but chiefly favors syrah co-fermented with viognier. He can often be seen at the finest functions with purple cuticles, having put together a few award-winning wines under a label whose logo, if you squint, resembles the "pi" symbol.
