Join us on Sunday June 4th from 1-3pm at Blacksburg Wine Lab for the Wine Lab Book Club tasting & discussing featuring Corkscrew by Peter Stafford-Bow!

Josh from Well Crafted Wine has picked this book specifically for us and will be hosting our event. It includes a whole chapter on South Africa and he is inspired to share a tasting of his favorite bottles with us from this region, along with a selection of crafted bites from Chef Bryan.

Blacksburg Wine Lab will also be featuring South Africa for the month of May & beginning of June. Stop in and try the regional flight and read a chapter of Corkscrew during the month!

More about the book...

Felix Hart, a tragic orphan, is expelled from school, cast onto the British high street, and forced to make his way in the cut-throat world of wine retailing. Thanks to a positive mental attitude, he is soon forging a promising career, his sensual adventures taking him to the vineyards of Italy, South Africa, Bulgaria and Kent. His path to the summit is littered with obstacles, however. Petty office politics, psychotic managers and the British Board of Wine & Liquor prove challenging enough. But when Felix negotiates the world’s biggest Asti Spumante deal, he bites off more than he can chew and is plunged into a terrifying world of Mafiosi, people smuggling and ruthless multinationals.

Part thriller, part self-help manual and part drinking companion, Corkscrew is a coruscating critique of neo-liberal capitalism, religious intolerance and the perils of blind tasting.
