I haven&#8217;t been posting every day, as I normally do, because I have been fiendishly busy, revising my <em>Wine Science<\/em> book.<\/p>\n<p>The original was really good, and I was happy with it (even though I was plagued by self-doubt as I sent it out into the world). But it is 8 years old, and needs updating.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest problem is that I could make it three times the size, and rewrite it completely. But then I think it would be less good as a book. So I&#8217;m doing a selective rewrite. There will be enough in it that&#8217;s different to make it a COMPULSORY purchase even for someone who already has a copy. But I&#8217;m trying to keep it the same sort of size.<\/p>\n<p>My deadline is Thursday, and as I&#8217;m off to Bulgaria tomorrow afternoon, it leaves me relatively little time to complete the task.<\/p>\n<p>Still, despite the pressure, I am really excited, and thrilled that Mitchell Beazley (who have practically stopped publishing wine books) have agreed to pay \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3 for a revision. In the USA it will be published by University of California Press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apologies for the slight slowing down on my blog.
