WITH THE OFFICAL pub date (Oct 4) just around the corner, I have to say I'm feeling incredibly giddy. Initial buzz has been terrific!

Excitement is picking up steam for my upcoming appearances in LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa, Phoenix and - of course! - New York. More buzz soon on exact locations and times. I hope that if you're interested in the book you'll try to make it out to one of these events.

After all, it wouldn't be a splashy book launch month without hip tasters coming out in force to celebrate.
