User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Family, friends and good wine
I am not one for short stories, but I loved “Wine Lovers Soul”. In fact, I bought one for my friend’s birthday. It was the perfect gift to give to a friend, whom you have enjoyed wine with.
Each story is touching or funny in one way or another, whether it is the couple of many years sharing a quiet moment at home with a good wine, or a daughter making a fine dinner for her family using her father’s oldest reserve wine by accident. Once you finish the book, it is easy to see that the love of wine is about tradition, celebration, love of friends and family and much more.
Not only did I love the short stories, but I also appreciated the extra little tidbits and facts that are given as a side note in each chapter. As well as, the suggestions at the end of different chapters on wines to try.
5 Stars Wine Lovers’ quick reads
This is a fun book on wine that was so nostalgic for me. While living in San Francisco for seven years, I learned a lot about wine and took many day trips to Napa and Sonoma. Now that I live in the Arizona desert, several stories in this book took me back to those fun experiences! A great book for anyone who enjoys wine and wine tasting.
5 Stars best of the new chicken soup lovers
I checked out the new Chicken Soup specialized books - chocolate lovers, tea lovers, etc. and this wine lover’s is the best of the lot.
5 Stars Truly the perfect book for a wine lover
Not only are the stories well-written, beautiful, and inspiring, so are the many other features included in the book. This is a must read for any wine lover.
5 Stars Charming coffee-table book, perfect for holiday present
This book is the perfect present for the holiday season (or any other special occasion). For those not knowing what to give as a gift, this little tome will definitely please male and female friends and relatives with its inspirational true stories of wine and how wine has brought people together in fellowship and family. First off, this book looks a bit different from the usual Chicken Soup tome - the cover is about an inch smaller in size and the inside pages are printed on soft white paper (instead of the usual bright white) which makes reading easy on the eyes. The cover is shaded with a rosy pink, reminiscent of rose wine. It’s a pleasure to hold this book in my hands. And it’s an even greater pleasure to relax with this book for an invigorating spell of reading enjoyment. I always feel better after leafing through a Chicken Soup book, and this one in particular. I thrive on “feel good” stories. I appreciate the life lessons that the authors provide, and I get a kick out of seeing how they incorporate those lessons with the joy of wine. Pass the cheese tray, friends, and relax with a glass of rose or white wine - and this book.
