Vintage Attraction by Charles Blackstone
Thanks to Iris Blasi, we have TWO copies for some lucky US readers!
UPDATE (10/28/13): Charles Blackstone has offered one signed copy to a winner that mentions wine in their answer. So now we have THREE copies! If you already answered only a vintage item, but would like to change it to mention your favorite wine, you have until the closing time to do so.
Before Peter Hapworth meets Izzy, he knows the difference between Pinot Noir and peanut butter, but that’s about it. Lonely and frustrated with his academic career—as well as with dating—his life takes a sudden turn one night when he turns on the television. He’s transfixed by the woman staring back at him, a glass of wine swirling delicately in her hand—Isabelle Conway, one of the preeminent sommeliers in the world. There’s something about her. Somehow, he feels like he already knows her.
On a whim, he pitches himself as a guest on her popular TV show, and the two embark on a whirlwind courtship. But relationships require a delicate balance of nurturing and belief, much like winemaking. Hapworth and Izzy must navigate the complex mysteries of wine–and the heart–from glamorous social events and domestic tribulations in Chicago to the vineyards and rocky bluffs of Greece. Vintage Attraction is a rich and insightful novel by a literary talent. (Synopsis courtesy of Charles Blackstone's website.)

Favorite vintage item I own is this old turquoise necklace that belonged to my grandmother, who passed it over to me before she died a few months ago. I absolutely love it and think of her every time I wear it! Plus, it’s vintage and very chic!

After living in France, I found that my favorite wine is actually a typical French aperitif called a Kir. It consists of a small splash of Creme de Cassis which is a black currant liqueur topped with chilled Chablis white wine. Usually, Chablis is low alcohol and the drink is lovely. Some people like to substitute champagne for the Chablis and drop a strawberry into the drink as well. Then you have a Kir Royale.
I inherited some beautiful pieces of crystal from my beloved mother-in-law which I treasure.
