Randall Heskett & Joel Butler talk Divine Vintage at Seasons 52

What happens when a biblical scholar and a wine lover get together to literally walk through the vineyards of the Holy Land? The result is Divine Vintage, a new book that looks at how wine has helped guide and inform religion and civilization from the days of the Old Testament through modern times.

Authors Joel Butler, president of the Institute of Masters of Wine, and biblical scholar Randall Heskett, Ph.D., will both be at Seasons 52 Monday, December 3, to talk about their book over a wine tasting with passed appetizers. The 6 p.m. event on the Plaza is organized by Rainy Day Books and costs $20. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase. You can make a reservation by calling Seasons 52 at 816-531-0052.
