I'm here today with Madeline Piquette, who is a certified sommelier and the co-author of Wine Folly

Magnum Edition, along with Justin Hammock.

With a background in design, Madeline launched the website WineFolly.com, which has become the

world's most popular wine block.

She currently lives in Seattle, Washington. So welcome to Madeline. Welcome, Madeline. Thanks so much

for being on Momsdon. Have time to read books. Thank you. So you start your book,

Wine Folly, Magnum Edition, with a section called Why Love Wine? So can you tell listeners why love wine if they

don't happen to already? Well, it's a really fascinating beverage because it gives you

it's sort of a way to get into the world and discover the world of wine because wine grows

pretty much everywhere. And every single wine around the world of wine because wine grows pretty much everywhere and every single

wine around the world has a different story to tell about that region about that place and that

people um so if you want to get into wine on that level as sort of in a cultural exploration it's

lots of fun but there's more more. It's about the soils.

It's about the geology of the region.

It's so many layers.

So, if you, wine will go as willing, as deep as you're willing to dive.

That's sort of how I put it.

But, you know, for someone who just likes to drink and to taste, it's at that level, too.
