GIVEAWAY (Review to come) - Corked, a Memoir by Kathryn Borel



From the Publisher's Website:


Meet Kathryn Borel, bon vivant and undutiful daughter. Now meet her father, Philippe, former chef, eccentric genius, and wine aficionado extraordinaire. Kathryn is like her father in every way but one: she's totally ignorant when it comes to wine. And although Philippe has devoted untold parenting hours to delivering impassioned oenological orations, she has managed to remain unenlightened. But after an accident and a death, Kathryn realizes that by shutting herself off to her father's greatest passion, she will never really know him.


About the Author:


Kathryn Borel was born in 1979 in Toronto, the daughter of a hotelier.


After several years, she became the older sister to Nico, who was named after the family cat. She spent her early years living in hotels in Paris, Bermuda, Dallas, and New Jersey, finally settling in Quebec City.


In 2002 she moved to Toronto to follow a man. The relationship ended.


She continues to live in Toronto where she works at the Canadian Broadcasting Company. She has written food and wine reviews for radio and print. Her journalism includes a column which ran in the National PostCorked is her first book. under the title "Indignities."
