There is a LOT to learn about wine. Sometimes I freak out about it and wonder if I can ever learn enough, and at the speed I need to learn it. (I feel the same about technology at times as well.)
I'm not the only one a little overwhelmed by the glut of wine information though. A group of wine bloggers, led by Dr. Debs, has gotten together and created the Wine Book Club (WBC). WBC is based on the Wine Blogging Wednesday model. Every other month, a book will be assigned (for a total of 6 books per year). At the end of the 2 month period, those who read the book will discuss and comment online.
There isn't yet an official WBC site, although we do have a presence on Shelfari. I suspect the site will be done sometime soon though. Once we have a site, we'll be able to host our discussions in one location.
On the off months, we're having "Spin the Bottle" books. These are books that a blogger reads and reviews, but no official discussion is held.
The first book for the WBC has been announced: Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy, by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch. The book is being hosted by David McDuff of McDuff's Food & Wine Trail. Due date: February 26, 2008.
There are a several ways to participate (and I stole this directly from David's post):
