Description

Weekends with Matt is a classic oddcouple tale of two very different men and the common ground that can be found over a shared passion

The peacocks tail is used to describe a wine that is wonderfully complex and ultimately rewarding Surely theres no better metaphor for life It was at the bottle shop somewhere between the chardonnay and the zinfandel that Peter realised he didnt have a clue about wine On his way to a dinner party and in a mild panic he called Matt a wineloving acquaintance who expertly steered him towards the perfect bottle The selection was a hit but it was Matts passion that stuck in Peters mind He decided to visit Matts vineyard for an introduction to the noble grape One visit led to another and this unlikely pairing of a Proustquoting intellectual and a farmer with a love of hunting found themselves bonding over life ideas vulnerability aspiration nature philosophy and of course a glass or three of wine Like a tipsy Tuesdays with Morrie this wellcrafted tale is as much a guide to life as the mysteries of wine With thoughtprovoking notes and philosophical undertones this is a delightful story that readers will love to sip and savour
