One of my favorite T-shirts features a Groucho Marx quote: “Outside of a Dog, Man’s Best Friend is a Good Book, Inside of a Dog, It is Very Dark.” I love this shirt because I firmly believe in the first part and you cannot argue with the second.Having always been an avid reader, it was a wine book, Andrea Immer Robinson’s "Great Wines Made Simple" ($30), that started me down the path to writing about wine.
