The Wine Lover’s Daughter
Posted on by

Monte talks with Anne Fadiman about her new book The Wine Lover’s Daughter. A memoir about her father, Clifton Fadiman-his love for wine,  her distaste for it, his famous radio show, and their shared love of literature. The book was given to Monte by his friend, National Book Award winning author Jeanne Birdsall. So he just HAD to invite Jeanne into the conversation.
