Okanagan author, Sarah Thompson, has recently released a new book that is sure to delight wine enthusiasts and book lovers alike. Titled “Wine Grapes from Around the World: A Rhyming Journey”, this book takes readers on a poetic adventure through the various wine regions of the world.
Thompson, who has a passion for both writing and wine, was inspired to write this book after visiting several wineries in the Okanagan Valley. She noticed that each winery had its own unique story and set of grapes, and she wanted to share these stories with the world in a creative and engaging way.
The book features beautiful illustrations by local artist, Emily Jones, and is divided into sections based on the different wine regions of the world. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the sun-kissed vineyards of California, readers will be taken on a journey through the sights, smells, and tastes of each region.
But what sets this book apart is its use of rhyme. Each page is filled with clever and witty rhymes that not only entertain but also educate readers about the different types of grapes and wines found in each region. Thompson’s writing style is both playful and informative, making this book a perfect read for both children and adults.
In an interview with Castanet News, Thompson shared her hopes for the book, stating, “I wanted to create something that would not only be enjoyable to read, but also educate readers about the world of wine. I hope that this book will inspire people to learn more about the different grapes and wines from around the world.”
“Wine Grapes from Around the World: A Rhyming Journey” is now available for purchase online and at select bookstores in the Okanagan Valley. So pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine and let this book take you on a poetic journey through the world of wine. Cheers!
