San Francisco, CA June 10th, 1999 – The Wine Brats – founded in 1993 – prove that today, wine is about fun and enjoyment, not self-indulgent behavior for the privileged few. Our 13,000 member organization is sweeping the nation with its no-B.S. approach to wine, and in The Wine Brats' Guide to Living, with Wine, we give America's new generation of adults (okay, anyone who's interested) a fun-packed guide to experiencing the joys of wine and share our personal experiences and philosophies toward wine and good living. From understanding different grape varietals to ordering off restaurant wine lists to building a cellar on a shoestring budget, or simply learning the truth about food and wine pairings, The Wine Brats' Guide to Living, with Wine, is the perfect one-stop shop for those wanting to discover wine without the usual, subcultural baggage.

Want to enjoy wine but are unsure where to start? Interested in understanding the wine regions of the world? How about just learning to pronounce all those foreign wine words? Or maybe drive right down to the most practical real-life applications: pairing wine with take-out foods like Kung Pao Chicken with Riesling, Pepperoni Pizza and Zinfandel, or Champagne with Potato Chips. Wine and BBQ?
Thirsty for more?
Written to reach both wine novices and the experienced alike, The Wine Brats' Guide to Living, with Wine, is packed with great advice, practical tips and down-to-earth knowledge from the brightest new minds in wine. So just like in the movies, here are the authors from the Wine Brats Coalition in order of appearance: Kim Caffrey, Lora White, Brendan Eliason, Leslie Sbrocco, Tim Hanni, Tina Caputo, Bob Blumer (a.k.a. the Surreal Gourmet), Darryl Roberts, S. Duda, Joe Naujokas, Rosina Tinari Wilson, Gina Gallo, Stewart Dorman, Sophia Schweitzer, Steven Van Yoder, Jeff Moriarty and Amy Reiley. Check-out some of their mystique-busting topics:
- wine shopping know-how
- hosting the big bash
- quick and easy fast-food party parings
- home wine cellars for the rest of us
- America's hot-spots to sip and drink wine
- finding wine on the web
- home winemaking comes out of the closet
- ordering off the wine list
The Wine Brats, however, are much more than wine lovers and authors. From pilot programs for radio and TV to a handy Web site (http://winebrats.org) to producing their National WineRave Tour (celebrating wine, food, fashion, music and art), the Wine Brats are knocking wine of its pedestal and putting it into the hands of everyday folks – where it belongs. The Wine Brats' Guide to Living, with Wine, is an accessible book that introduces America to a new crop of wine writers through anecdotal stories and educational sections filled to the rim with youthful energy, wisdom and wit. In short, the Wine Brats have made wine fun again!
