Thanks Evan for your enthusiasm toward reading the book! And thank you to Meg for her wonderful writing, so deftly expressing what I hope to bring to the table and the page. I see Libation really as the first of a series (I hope!) following the vignettes of a vineyard and the story of an unlikely wine maker. Already, new thoughts, new philosphies, new efforts…..

Evan, thank you for your kind comments. You’re right; this was not a book review, or not merely so—Deirdre’s too complex for that treatment. I do hope you enjoy her wonderful book, though. And if you’re ever in central Vermont, be sure to reserve a spot at their restaurant. It’s a rare treat.

I read this beautiful piece unsure if it was a review of a book or a review of a restaurant or perhaps a profile of a person. In the end I realized it was all of those things, but crafted in such clever fashion that I felt I knew Deirdre quite well. It will be a pleasure to read her book and follow her winemaking adventures.
