Book Description
Spain and its wine. An English teacher and a mission.So begins Let's Open a Bottle - an original, fascinating and humorous look at the Spanish wine revolution. The author, a U.S expatriate living in Madrid for the past fifteen years, takes the reader on his personal journey to search out a three-thousand-year-old tradition undergoing a veritable turnaround of the likes never seen before. Along the way he shares with us an entertaining array of characters and scenes that represent the inseparable bond between a culture and its most venerated drink.
You will travel the diverse countryside that is the Iberian peninsula, visit all the major wine regions and many minor ones as well, and you will discover the great wines emerging from this land.
But there is more in this book for you than just Spanish wine and the revolution. You will also read about the bones beneath the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the current state of the wild boar in Murcia, what ingredients go into the stew Cocido Madrileño, why some highways are toll roads, what tallar means in the language of Catalan, where the country's best haunted house is, how the author nearly sold his soul to a tailor and much, much more.
Let's Open a Bottle will appeal to the wine enthusiast as well as the novice; the avid traveler or those looking to take their first adventure to Spain. Or anyone looking to read a good adventure story. This book is fun, easy to read and filled with charm and wit. Open it up and see or yourself.

La problemática de la pareja.......2006-01-05
Entretenido, pero ¿aplicamos lo que leemos?.......2004-02-16
El problema empieza con los acomplejados lectores y las metas que se supone que van a conseguir leyendo el libro: leemos una historia curiosa que nos permite ver nuevas perspectivas sobre la pareja y nos hace darnos cuenta de nuestra propia responsabilidad en el juego del amor, pero después de terminar la lectura ¿podemos aplicar lo que hemos aprendido a la vida real? Después de hablar con otros que han leído, nadie lo consigue. Y varias personas han reaccionado muy negativamente ante la idea de que cada uno se tiene que echar la culpa de todo lo que ocurre dentro de la relación. ¡No es así!, claman muchos, diciendo que en muchísimas ocasiones, sus parejas son verdaderamente insensibles, torpes, antipáticas o combativas. Si tomamos este libro al pie de la letra, sólo podemos culparnos a nosotros mismos y seguir sufriendo en un plan bastante masoquista y autodestructivo.
En fin, es un libro útil y entretenido, y a mí me ha gustado más que la mayoría de los libros de este género, pero creo que hay que tomarlo con filosofía también, porque ningún libro puede dar todas las respuestas.
Take a look at your relationship.......2002-04-03
