Guy du Vin - book

Book Weak & Video Lame

Lately we have received a number of inquires regarding what the future holds for Guy du Vin. Questions have ranged from when will we begin offering Pinot Noir from the newly proposed Death Valley AVA in California to queries from concerned wine drinkers who are anxiously awaiting their first bottle of hand crafted Joerking from Norway. Short answer - we're working on it.

But while we are at the mercy of others for obtaining some of these more doubtful bottlings, here are a couple of projects we are currently working on:

New Book Deal entitled: "It Could Be Worse - Wine and Food Pairing for People Who Just Don't Care".

Guy du Vin's guide to wine pairings for "out of the mainstream" menu items. We offer sound advice on what to match with subtle delicacies such as lutefisk (Joerking - of course); peanut butter and mayonnaise with pickle sandwiches (Wild Irish Rose - Wild Fruit with Ginseng"); as well as holiday favorites like Peeps (Demi Sec Champagne). Unfortunately, it appears that we will be unable to include a planned pictorial review of our personal collected works "the Spinning Cone Girls of the AOC". Upon reflection we thought that small minded types might find it seedy and we did not want to diminish the powerful statement of the main work.

"Under Our Noses" - Video Game for Winemaker Wannabes

Still under development. You choose your avatar: Michel Rolland, Robert Parker, Helen Turley, or Paris Hilton. Your task: seek out a terroir driven wine with unique personality and make it over into a powerful, formula driven, high alcohol, high extract, easy to drink wine that is indistinguishable from any other. All this must be accomplished before the next virtual issue of a well known, American wine magazine is published so that your wine can be rated. The wine receiving the highest score over 98 points wins.

Along the way pick up extra "terroir busting" points for fighting off biodynamic wine "terroir-ists" who want to destroy your reverse osmosis machine. Gain extra lives by accumulating extra long "hang times"; gain credibility points by hiring a high powered marketing company to make up a believable "story" about your winery. Use those points to purchase expensive art work for your tasting room. Avoid losing your wine formula or you will be forced to return to an obscure wine region and spend your next turn ripping out indigenous grape varieties and replanting with chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. Extra power points for every insipid quote extolling the virtues of Pinot Noir; how wine needs to be made less intimidating; or "what micro-oxygenation has meant to me".
