Dear Friends,
We're delighted to announce today's official launch of our latest book WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT: The Definitive Guide to Pairing Food with Wine, Beer, Spirits, Coffee, Tea — Even Water — Based on Expert Advice from America's Best Sommeliers.
We hope you'll join us in our celebration of its publication in two exciting ways:
1) Join us today — and every weekday this month! — on the Web's first Gastronomic "Virtual Book Tour" for WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT. On each of the 22 weekdays during the month of October, we'll visit different Web sites that have graciously offered to feature an announcement or review of the book, an author Q&A, or something else they've dreamed up on their designated date.
Today — Monday, October 2nd — we invite you to join us in both Paris and New York City, as we're being hosted by author and former Chez Panisse pastry chef David Lebovitz on his Paris-based Blog at www.DavidLebovitz.com and by Charlie Suisman at his much-loved www.ManhattanUsersGuide.com right here in Manhattan. In turn, you can learn more about their Web sites on our Blog at www.BecomingAChef.com. Stop by every day of our tour, and you'll have the pleasure of discovering more than two dozen of the most passionate food-loving Web sites on the Internet!

2) The second way you can help us celebrate is to buy a copy of WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT for yourself and/or as a gift. If you purchase a copy online and forward your email receipt to CookbookRave@aol.com before October 15, 2006, we will thank you in two delicious ways:
- on our Web site, at http://www.becomingachef.com/rave.php (where you'll find a list-in-progress of other participants, which we'll be updating daily!); and
- in the Acknowledgments section of our next book Flavor Matchmaking (Fall '07).
We thank you in advance for helping us get the word out about our exciting new book, and for all your enthusiastic support!
Delicious wishes,
Karen & Andrew
