The Corkscrew Diary is a global travelogue and personal
introduction to artisans who bring life to wine and wine to our lives.
From the Pinot vineyards of the Willamette Valley in Oregon to the Pinotage
Estates of the West Cape of South Africa there will be no leaf left unturned
and no big barrel untested. Set against a backdrop of working vineyards,
Deborah Gee, The Toasted Hostess, introduces and reveals unique destinations, volumes of varietals
and fabulous food pairings through the words of the winemakers and chefs
themselves.
Deborah Gee is everyone. Deborah is real, engaging,
curious and enthusiastic. Deborah has opened her own Corkscrew Diary to
demystify the world of wine, making it an enjoyable, understandable, less
presumptuous additive to the every day.
Born in Namibia, Deborah grew up as part of a large
extended family a world away from the vineyards and industry of wine. It
was not until the mid-90’s, while in New Zealand, that she acquired a taste for
the sumptuous Sauvignon Blanc and crisp chardonnay of the North Island.
This unquenchable thirst for knowledge has accompanied her move to America.
