“Planning to host a wine party this month? Think about combining two passions and host a book club and tasting night. I’ve read two recently-released books that will help you make an event memorable.

The first is by Michael Gelb, author of the best-selling book How to Think like Leonardo DaVinci. Gelb is a world-renowned motivational speaker but also a wine lover. His latest book, Wine Drinking for Inspired Thinking: Uncork your Creative Juices ($20 Running Press), is required reading for anyone who has a passion for the grape. He offers unique ways to approach wine including ideas on “inspired thinking” wine parties. Gelb’s vinous perspective is refreshing, joyful, and smart.”
