Let me throw my two cents into the pile for what to gift for yourself or others when we’re in a drinking mood.
One Thousand Vines A new way to understand wine By Pascaline Lepeltier $55 (unfortunately it’s back ordered in most book shops, but available this minute on Amazon)
Extraordinary. A jaw-dropping book for your all-purpose wine nerd or wine pro. This is not a book to read cover to cover but to use as your most excellent resource.
