The Perfect Last Minute Gift

There’s always the need for a last minute gift.   If the recipient is interested in wine, history, religion or simply someone who enjoys learning something new, then your gift problem is solved with “Divine Vintage” a book written by a Biblical scholar and a Master of Wine.  “Divine Vintage” follows the wine trail from Genesis to the modern age.

Randall Heskett, PhD is a biblical scholar with advanced degrees in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible from Yale University and the University of Toronto.  His co-author is Joel Butler, M.W., President of the Masters of Wine in North America and one of the first two resident Masters of Wine in North America.

As the authors state in the Preface, their aim is to describe the historical, social and spiritual dimensions of wine in the Bible as well as characterize what the people of the ancient world actually drank.  It is a book about wine and winegrowing from its earliest beginnings and its civilizing effect on the development of the human race.  It is a great read for cold, snowy night accompanied by a glass of something special.

Illustrated with helpful maps and interesting photos,  “Divine Vintage” was published by Palgrave MacMillan and is available on Amazon.com as well as at fine bookstores.  There’s still time to get it!
