Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an accessible question-and-answer format, Edward Finstein (a.k.a. Dr. WineKnow) takes the reader through the various areas of wine knowledge, working with questions he has been asked by clients and students during his quarter-century as a wine consultant, writer, and teacher. He addresses questions about the growing of wine, making it, finding and buying it (including a demystification of the puzzling information on wine labels), storing and aging it, and serving it (where should you store your glasses to assure good tasting?). Most attention, however, is paid to enjoying it, including how to handle restaurant wine lists and rituals, how your health can affect your tasting, and how to get the most from the matching of food and wine. Each chapter is peppered with “Grape Flashes,” containing interesting bits of information, and the book also includes a glossary of wine terms, a simple guide to food and wine matching, and a selected bibliography for further reading. Edward Finstein believes that the most important thing about wine is enjoyment – and understanding aids that enjoyment. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Download or read book The Secrets of My Life written by Peter M. F. Sichel and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter M. F. Sichel, a fourth-generation wine merchant, found the path he was destined to walk interrupted by the Nazis while growing up as a Jew in Germany. He moved to France in 1939 but was imprisoned as an enemy alien at the outbreak of World War II. When he was released, he hid in the Pyrenees before reaching the United States in 1941. After joining the Army, he served with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, sending spies into Germany, before becoming a senior official with the Central Intelligence Agency, where he served in key positions in Berlin, Hong Kong, and Washington. In this memoir--which needed to be cleared by the CIA--he describes how the Nazis took over Germany, the odd attitude of German Jews to being Jewish, the fault lines in U.S. intelligence during the Cold War, and the life lessons he learned in the wine business. “Peter Sichel was a true insider during the heyday of the CIA during the late 1940s and 1950s. From Berlin to Hong Kong, he served in a global secret war that was, by turns, gallant, necessary, dangerous, and wrongheaded. ... His memoir is clear-eyed, charming, and fascinating.” --Evan Thomas, author of The Very Best Men: The Daring Early Years of the CIA “Peter Sichel is an iconic figure in the history of wine. With his European upbringing and early years in the CIA, his story is both fascinating and compelling. His success with Blue Nun is nothing short of classic marketing.” --Marvin R. Shanken, Editor & Publisher, Wine Spectator

But Cara, whose ex-fiancé stood her up in Italy, reminds herself that her fantasy romance with Vittore Falco will end when she returns to the United States. Unknown to Cara, Vittore, the most eligible bachelor in Italy, has formulated a plan of his own, a plan that goes beyond his silk shirts and limousines?a plan that is central to his desire for Cara to remain in Italy.

It propels her into a situation that jeopardizes her stay as she faces possible deportation. Cara has always had a natural talent of ?landing in it,? and she has certainly done so now.

Download or read book Boomer written by Linda Grant Niemann and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating mix of fact, history, self-confession, self-accusation, and self-forgiveness—a diary of both emotional relationships and travel.” —Pasatiempo This classic account of self-discovery and railroad life describes Linda Grant Niemann’s travels as an itinerant brakeman on the Southern Pacific. Boomer combines travelogue, Wild West adventure, sexual memoir, and closely observed ethnography. A Berkeley Ph.D., Niemann turned her back on academia and set out to master the craft of railroad brakeman, beginning a journey of sexual and subcultural exploration and traveling down a path toward recovery from alcoholism. In honest, clean prose, Niemann treks off the beaten path and into the forgotten places along the rail lines, finding true American characters with colorful pasts—and her true self as well. “Ma[kes] the railroad experience come alive with all its grit, danger, romance, and general outrageousness . . . Possibly the finest book I’ve ever read about the actual experience of working on the railroad.” —Trains Magazine “Niemann has a taut, lyrically restrained but vividly descriptive style, with an observational vigilance befitting a brakeman’s mindset, and her narrative clips along like a boxcar rolling through the yard.” —Bloom Magazine “A remarkable adventure tale, the occupational odyssey of the Ph.D. in literature who immerses herself in blue-collar America.” —Library Journal

This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 6681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 bestselling series by USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, with over 5,000 five-star reviews! FBI Special Agent Riley Paige, battling her own demons from her last encounter with a serial killer, has an uncanny ability to enter a killer’s mind. But her psyche is fragile, and these new killers are more diabolical than even she can imagine. The complete Riley Paige collection, comprising all 23 books! “A dynamic story line that grips from the first chapter and doesn't let go.” --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Once Gone) A complete bundle of the 23 books in THE MAKING OF RILEY PAIGE and the RILEY PAIGE MYSTERY series. THE MAKING OF RILEY PAIGE takes readers back 20 plus years, to how Riley’s career began. 22 year old psychology major—and aspiring FBI agent—Riley Paige finds herself in a battle for her life as her closest friends on campus are abducted and killed by a serial killer. She senses that she, too, is being targeted—and that if she is to survive, she must apply her brilliant mind to stop the killer herself. When the FBI hits a dead end, they are impressed enough by Riley’s keen insight into the killer’s mind to allow her to help. Yet the killer’s mind is a dark, twisted place, one too diabolical to make sense of, and one that threatens to bring Riley’s fragile psyche crashing down. In this deadly game of cat and mouse, can Riley survive unscarred? In the RILEY PAIGE MYSTERY series, women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they are stumped. A serial killer is out there, his frequency increasing, and they know there is only one agent good enough to crack this case: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley is on paid leave herself, recovering from her encounter with her last serial killer, and, fragile as she is, the FBI is reluctant to tap her brilliant mind. Yet Riley, needing to battle her own demons, comes on board, and her hunt leads her through the disturbing subculture of doll collectors, into the homes of broken families, and into the darkest canals of the killer’s mind. As Riley peels back the layers, she realizes she is up against a killer more twisted than she could have imagined. In a frantic race against time, she finds herself pushed to her limit, her job on the line, her own family in danger, and her fragile psyche collapsing. Yet once Riley Paige takes on a case, she will not quit. It obsesses her, leading her to the darkest corners of her own mind, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. After a series of unexpected twists, her instincts lead her to a shocking climax that even Riley could not have imagined. Dark psychological thrillers with heart-pounding suspense, the Riley Paige mysteries are a riveting new series—with a beloved new female protagonist—that will leave you turning pages late into the night. “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery! The author did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side that is so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. The plot is very intelligent and will keep you entertained throughout the book. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone) This unique collection includes 23 books: THE MAKING OF RILEY PAIGE SERIES: Watching (Book #1) Waiting (Book #2) Luring (Book #3) Taking (Book #4) Stalking (Book #5) Killing (Book #6) THE RILEY PAIGE SERIES: Once Gone (Book #1) Once Taken (Book #2) Once Craved (Book #3) Once Lured (Book #4) Once Hunted (Book #5) Once Pined (Book #6) Once Forsaken (Book #7) Once Cold (Book #8) Once Stalked (Book #9) Once Lost (Book #10) Once Buried (Book #11) Once Bound (Book #12) Once Trapped (Book #13) Once Dormant (Book #14) Once Shunned (Book #15) Once Missed (Book #16) Once Chosen (Book #17)
