WINE GRAPES
ROBINSON, JANCIS
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
An indispensable book for every wine lover, from some of the world's leading wine experts. Where do wine
grapes come from and how are grape varieties related to one another? What is the historical background of each
one? Where are they grown? What sort of wines do they make? Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and detailing
almost 1,400 distinct grape varieties, as well as myriad correct (and incorrect) synonyms, this book examines
grapes and wine as never before. Here is a complete, alphabetically presented profile of all grape varieties of
relevance to the wine lover, charting the relationships between them and including unique and astounding family
trees, their characteristics in the vineyard, and—most important—what the wines made from them taste like.

WINTER JOURNAL
AUSTER, PAUL
Facing his sixty-forth winter, internationally acclaimed novelist Paul Auster decides to write a journal as he sees
himself aging in ways he never imagined. Compellingly written, and with dreamlike logic and urgency, the
autobiographical fragments and meditations produce an extraordinary mosaic of a life. Weaving together vividly
detailed stories, Auster illuminates how each small incident comes to signify a whole. Also, there are two
recurring moments: one of bodily terror -- his panic attack following his mother's death in 2002; the other of joy --
his experience watching a dance piece in 1978 which releases him from writer's block just prior to his father's
death. It was his father's death that began his first equally unconvential and internationally celebrated memoir,
The Invention of Solitude, published thirty years ago. Now, Auster has included an unforgettable portrait of his
mother. Winter Journal is a surprising and moving meditation on time, the body, the weight of memory, a long
and fulfilling marriage (with author Siri Hustvedt), and language itself by one of the most interesting and elegant
writers writing today, and one with a devoted following.
