Christine Ansbacher—the “Wine Diva”—has hosted tastings for corporations, cultural institutions, and nonprofit groups. Here she pops the cork on the page…and out pours information that wine lovers of every level can appreciate!“If you want to know how the soil and climate affect the taste of a wine, it’s not in my book. If you need an author to name wines she likes by specific producers from specific vintages that probably are not stocked in your store or are sold out, it’s not in my book. But if the sheer enjoyment of drinking wine is your purpose, then this book is for you.”—Christine AnsbacherWine expert Christine Ansbacher has some enviable clients: they include corporate icons such as American Express, Merrill Lynch, Pfizer, and Wachovia as well as cultural giants like The New York Philharmonic. Why? Because she’s fun and passionate about wine…and eager to share extensive knowledge so that ordinary wine drinkers (not just elite oenophiles) can get more pleasure from their glass. Here she reveals her smart secrets that everyone who loves wine ought to know—including how to make a $10 Cabernet taste like a $30 bottle; how to determine a fair price for a bottle of wine at a restaurant; and how to avoid the dreaded “red wine headache.” She also answers some common questions, including “What wine do you recommend with Chinese food?” Buying wine, storing wine, going on a “wine vacation”, reading the label, ordering in restaurants: all that, and more, is covered in language as sparkling as fine champagne. This Diva is a delight! .

The Ordering of Love: The New and Collected Poems of Madeleine L'Engle
Praise for The Ordering of Love
By Madeleine L’Engle
“In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live–the gap between human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to see through–not around–human suffering, and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in the One in Whom all things meet, continuing.” –Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and Selected Poems“I love L’Engle’s poetry for the way it incarnates not only the great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our ordinary existence–our working and playing and loving and fighting and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it–and for the way it shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be separated.” –Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author “Why is L’Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace.” –Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School Birmingham, Alabama “We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.” –Phyllis Tickle, Author, The Divine Hours“Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.” –Madeleine L’Engle Madeleine L’Engle’s writing has always translated the invisible and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted vulnerability, The Ordering of Love brings together the exhaustive collection of L’Engle’s poetry for the first time. This volume collects nearly 200 of L’Engle’s original poems, including eighteen that have never before been published. Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, The Ordering of Love gives vivid and compelling insight into the language of the heart..

Cosmic Ordering: The Next Adventure
Her first book, The Cosmic Ordering Service (Hampton Roads, ISBN 1-57174-272-7, 2001, 50,000 sold)--with more than 1 million in sales in Mohr's home country of Germany--recently exploded across England after Noel Edmonds, popular host of "Deal or No Deal," revealed that he followed the book's principles and they had changed his life. We have all had an experience where we've secretly wished for something--from finding the right partner to scoring a good parking spot--then voila! had that wish become reality. While some might write it off as coincidence, Barbel Mohr explains through her theory of cosmic ordering, that it's anything but random luck. In Cosmic Ordering, The Next Adventure, author Barbel Mohr delves deeper into the idea of placing orders with the universe, with more hints and ideas behind the belief that we are in charge of our own reality. Mohr's playful, simple approach to this popular concept is both entertaining and inspirational. Cosmic Ordering includes more of Mohr's experiences as well as stories from readers who've used the Cosmic Ordering Service themselves. Learn why it's best not to tell people about your cosmic orders before they are delivered, what you need to know to get started, plus more tricks to get what you want..
