White Wine For Dummies
Just married and visiting Italy, Deirdre Heekin and her husband, Caleb Barber are swept away by the culture and food. Moving back to the U.S. a year later, they wanted to create a place where the lifestyle of Italy could be explored and displayed.
A bakery in Vermont, Pane E Salute, was born. The bakery began to "change its shape, and before we understood that the bakery really wanted to become a restaurant, we began ordering wine from local purveyors so that we had something to wash down the simple lunches we had begun to offer."
Thus was born Osteria Pane E Salute.
Libation is about this journey, about Heekin's exploration of wine and spirits and its evolution into a quest for revitilization.
And so, in a seemingly futile place for making spirits and wine, Vermont, Deirdre Heekin tells in her book of that journey. The telling of this fascinating journey is verbose and well, boring. Her writing about the soil, totally not interesting to me and yet a writer ought to be able to make even dirt appealing. The details about the wines and spirits could have been pretty fascinating but end up more like a boring professor, great content but a poor delivery.
It is really too bad because the idea for this book is a good one.
