Join us on Sunday March 26th from 1-3pm at Blacksburg Wine Lab for the Wine Lab Book Club tasting & discussion featuring The Winemaker by Noah Gordon! 

About The Winemaker ~

Josep Alvarez is a young man in the tiny grape-growing village of Santa Eulália, in northern Spain, where his father grows black grapes that are turned into cheap vinegar. Joseph loves the agricultural life, but he is the second son, and his father’s vineyard will be inherited by his brother Donat, the firstborn. Josep needs to keep his hands in the soil. He yearns for a job growing grapes and for an opportunity to marry Teresa Gallego.

In Madrid, an assassination plot, conceived against the political leader of Spain by men of wealth and power, creates a storm of intrigue that sucks into its vortex a group of innocent young farm workers in Santa Eulália. How Josep’s life is changed drastically by these events, and how, ironically, they gradually turn him into an inspired vintner with an evolving vision of life, is the fascinating story of The Winemaker.

Cassandra Kessman, our wine director, will be hosting the meeting. She is selecting four fantastic Spanish wines for us to taste. Chef Bryan will create a pairing board of house –made Spanish tapas, cheese and charcuterie to accompany our tasting.
