What Happens When You Turn a Great Writer Loose on One of His Favorite Topics? John Turi's A Drinker With a Writing Problem is just not some collection of wine reviews. Instead it is a collection of Turi's best wine writing. Each piece is really a story of and about a specific wine. Each chapter reads like the most interesting wine history lesson in print and simultaneously like a page ripped from the private diary of the most interesting person you know. After reading a review you will not only want to go and find the wine right away, you will find yourself wishing you could share a bottle with the author. Some reviews increase your knowledge and shape your opinion. These reviews do that, but more importantly they infect the reader with the same passion for wine that radiates from every one of Turi's paragraphs. If you love wine you need this book. If you love great writing you need this book. If you love great wine writing your life will not be complete until you add this collection to your personal library.

Autorenporträt
John Turi has had an impulsive career as a writer, wine critic, and artist. He has two published books of short fiction and poetry. He is a former child actor with the anxiety to prove it. He began college with a major in Mortuary Science, later switched to Creative Writing, and, finally finished at a free love hippie art college in Southern California with a degree in Graphic Design and Marketing. During his college years, he worked in the wine industry and acquired a delicate palate for varietals. For the last 20 years, he has become a private rare book and wine collector. He desires California Pinot Noir from Sonoma County in Northern California. As a way to pay for his wine collection, he works as a Director of Marketing for a famous sex toy company. For the good of his sanity, he is a writer at ConnotationPress.com, where he writes a monthly wine column featuring only the best bottles. He currently resides in Southern California with his beautiful wife Shawn Marie, a motivational speaker for female entrepreneurs. Enjoy his latest reviews at Y9Review.com
