SLS Events: Oldman\'s Brave New World of Wine

About the book…

The culmination of 17 months of diving deep in a literary submarine, Oldman’s Brave New World of Wine aims to educate and entertain readers about insider favorites from around the globe that are affordable and readily attainable.  It covers 46 different wine types (from almost-prime-time Gruner and Prosecco to under-appreciated Muscadet and American sparklers to up-and-comers such as NZ Pinot and Portugese Reds to types deserving rediscovery (Merlot and low-oak Chard). 

The book brims with hundreds of producer recommendations, exciting charts and lists, and exclusive picks from over 140 food and wine pros and wine-passionate celebs (from Hilary Swank and Antonio Banderas to Julio Iglesias and Busta Rhymes!)  And the price is light-bodied: a gentle $13.57 on Amazon — about the price of a glass of Cab (in NYC!)

If you can’t attend one of Stanford Law School’s regional events, buy the book online!  While Supplies Last!…For yourself and loved ones and/or clients (a delicious holiday gift!).
