Review You Heard It Through the Grapevine / Not Avail:'A hint of buttercups on the nose'. 'A lively little wine with a winsome sense of humour'. 'Oh, you can't drink this with that'. There is a certain, all-too-widespread way of talking and writing about wine that is both enormously infuriating and utterly incomprehensible. [+]Why can't someone cut through all the pretension and the flowery language for once, and tell us the things we really want to know? Do you actually get a much better bottle of wine if you pay much more for it? Do the supermarket chains, with their vast bulk-buying power, really offer the best bargains? Why are classic wines like Chianti. Muscadet and Rioja so often disappointing? Is champagne worth the money? Can you truly taste the difference between some of the world's most popular wines? And does it honestly matter which wines you drink with which foods? In You Heard It Through the Grapevine, one of Britain's most iconoclastic and witty wine writers takes the wine industry to task, and provides answers for everyone who stands in Sainsbury's wondering what to buy. But Stuart Walton's acerbic study goes further, for such issues are merely symptoms of an industry both adapting to, and sometimes taking advantage of, our huge and still-growing interest in drinking wine. He looks at how the industrial quantities we now drink necessitate industrial production methods, with sometimes a consequently industrial taste. He argues that the rise of the globe-trotting "wine-maker", offering his or her consultancy to wineries from California to Australia, risks a homogenisation of world wine. He questions the lucrative profession of the wine critic, posing as an impartial authority while unable to resist the high fees offered to plug the big retailers' own selections. And he takes a decidedly dim view of the pitiful choice on offer and outrageous prices charged for the privilege of having wine in a restaurant. Waspish, satirical and frequently very funny, separating the premier vintage from the frightful slosh, You Heard It Through the Grapevine applies the acid test to today's wine business, and finds all too often a very nasty taste in the mouth.

Review Freeze My Margarita / Crown Publishing Group (NY):Sam Jones is back! Lauren Henderson's sexy, streetwise artist-cum-detective returns in Freeze My Margarita, the sequel to her enormously popular Black Rubber Dress. A chance meeting in a fetish club with an old friend from art school leads to a new sculpting job for Sam: creating a series of mobiles for an avant-garde production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Plunged into the strange world of theater, Sam mingles with a bizarre, vexing, but often amusing cast of characters, including the appalling Helen, the girlfriend of Sam's best friend Janey, and Hugo, an enigmatic and acidly humorous actor with a wry Peter Wimsey drawl and a perfectly shaped bottom. After a long string of disappointing boyfriends, Sam may have finally met her match with Hugo. Now if she could only figure out whether or not he's gay. This pressing state of affairs is overshadowed only by the discovery of a decomposing body in the basement beneath the theater. Sam, who's unfortunately grown accustomed to stumbling across dead bodies, is hardly fazed, but as the mysterious deaths increase and a practical joker starts to sabotage performances of the play, Sam realizes that unless the killer is caught, she may be facing her own curtain call.
