For those of you who are fans of Gary Vaynerchuk and his show Wine Library TV, you'll be excited to learn that he recently launched a new online programming venture. Called Obsessed, it's a medium-length interview show hosted by TV veteran and author Samantha Ettus (and then, in the last five minutes, Gary comes on for some wine talk and general conversation).

In the most recent episode, Samantha chats with New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman about his new book and his habit of only eating fruits, vegetables and grains until 6 p.m. (for more on that, see our previous post about daytime veganism).

101 Wines, Cookbook of the Day

I should probably change the name of this column from Cookbook of the Day to Food Book of the Day, for the number of times I write about books that aren't strictly cooking related. However, I always try to write about books that will increase your ability to enjoy and appreciate your food and drink. Take today's book, for example. Written by Wine Library TV host, Gary Vaynerchuk, 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World isn't a cookbook. But it is a book that will help you find the wines that will enhance your meals, dinner parties and cookouts. So, to me, it fits.

The cool thing about this book is that it isn't your standard wine guide, with the same stuffy three sentences to explain why you should or shouldn't be drinking a particular wine. If you've ever watched Wine Library TV, you'll know that Gary is working hard to turn the wine world on it's head and make drinking wine a more accessible and fun activity and this book continues to move that mission forward. His personality translates to text really well and so makes 101 Wines a highly entertaining read.

One helpful thing about the book, in addition to the two pages devoted to each of the 101 wines is that the last few pages are broken up in groupings that will let you know that five best wines for the beach or from the places you least expect. It's a fun way to think about wine and I plan on taking this book with me next time I head to the liquor store.
