I saw this new book at the Book Fair on Saturday. Although I wasn't aware of its publication, I gad come across a poster advertising an event in this series which combined wine tasting and spiritual formation recently being advertised at the Cathedral and it seems this book resulted from this series of meetings. Out of curiosity, I got a copy.
It also got me thinking. In this blog, I have discussed matters ecclesiastic and spiritual when it had somehow connected with the wines under discussion. These included how some properties or vineyards got their names (eg Chateau Angelus) or that such a vineyard was founded by some monks or nuns or other religious order (many vineyards with Clos in their name used to be walled properties of monasteries). I had a short series on charity wines and many of these had church connections too. Of course, the Avignon Papacy gave us the appellation of Chateauneuf du Papes! That is enough inspiration for me to consider going through the blog and trying to make a book out of the ramblings on this blog!!
