If you loved A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, you`ll love The Fine Colour of Rust. Single mother Loretta Boskovic may have fantasies about dumping her two kids in the orphanage & riding off on a Harley with her dream lover, but her reality is life in a dusty country town called Gunapan. A self-dubbed `old scrag`, Loretta`s got a big heart & a strong sense of injustice. So, when Gunapan`s primary school is threatened with closure, & there`s a whiff of corruption wafting through the corridors of the local council, she stirs into action. She`s short of money, influence & a fully functioning car, but she does have loyal friends who`ll do whatever it takes to hold on to the scrap of world that is home. The Fine Colour of Rust is a wryly funny, beautifully observed, life-affirming novel about friendship, love & fighting for things that matter. In Loretta Boskovic, Paddy O` Reilly (writing as P A O` Reilly) has created a truly endearing heroine who gives us all permission to dream. ...

Here, over many centuries, plots of vineyard land were gradually demarcated & individually named.

The wines of California have a distinctive personality & style, which arise from a culture very different from that of most other wine regions. Whilst the area has abundant sunshine, the unique character of the wines comes from other elements, mainly the maritime influence or the elevation of the vineyards. Californian wines also benefit from the industry`s lack of regulation which allows a grower to grow what he wants where he wants & use any grapes he likes. This freedom has led to the swift evolution & diversification of the state`s wine industry. Stephen Brook has identified the region`s top 90 producers, though the nature of the industry there makes the selection particularly difficult. The author considers quality as the most important but not sole criterion. He looks more indulgently on wineries that make considerable volumes of excellent wine than on boutique operations that do one small thing very well This guide, the fourth in the acclaimed Finest Wines series, from Hugh Johnson`s award-winning team, casts a whole new light on the region. Authoritative, bang up-to-date, & brimming with fascinating information, this essential guide is required reading for all wine lovers & makes a handsome present. ...
