🍷 Exciting News for Wine Lovers and Curious Minds Alike! I’m thrilled to share something truly special—a new book by Tyler Balliet and Morgan First, "The Rebel School of Wine," now available. Tyler and Morgan, pioneers in making wine knowledge accessible and fun, have launched an illustrated handbook that demystifies wine for everyone, especially those new to this fascinating world. For those who don’t know, I go way back with Tyler and Morgan to 2007 when they founded The Second Glass, a wine magazine I had the pleasure of contributing to. Their entrepreneurial journey evolved into creating Wine Riot, transforming wine tasting into dynamic, interactive experiences. Though they've moved on from running these events, their passion for approachable wine education never waned. 📘 About "The Rebel School of Wine" This book isn't just another wine guide. It's a vibrant, approachable handbook that invites you to learn about wine in a way that is both educational and exhilarating. Designed for those who find traditional wine culture daunting, Tyler and Morgan's work breaks down barriers with its engaging content and beautiful illustrations. Tyler and Morgan have always been vocal critics of the exclusivity and gatekeeping in the wine industry—elements that often alienate newcomers and younger generations. Yet, they also champion the profound joy and enhanced experience that come from understanding wine. This dual perspective makes "The Rebel School of Wine" not just a guide, but a gateway to discovering your own path in the wine world without feeling overwhelmed or out of place. 🌟 Why This Matters In an industry often focused more on marketing than education, Tyler and Morgan’s approach is refreshingly sincere. They aren’t here to gatekeep or judge; they’re here to share their excitement and knowledge about this complex beverage. Whether you know a little or a lot about wine, there’s something in this book for you. I encourage all my connections to check out "The Rebel School of Wine." Whether you’re looking to deepen your wine knowledge or simply want a delightful read that elevates your next glass, this book promises to be an engaging companion. 🔗 Grab your copy at https://lnkd.in/eMas8Tgc

3moThank you for this post!!! If you look on page 247. "...deep, dark, high-alcohol red wines that Darth Vader would love..." That is a very intentional shoutout to you! WAY back in like 2007-ish you wrote a review of a Mollydooker wine and said it was the wine Darth Vador would drink. Thank you for helping develop this really fun way to talk about wine. I wanted to make sure you got a shoutout in the book!!!
