iWineRadio980c Introducing Novelist James Conaway and His New Book NOSE... a novel - James Conaway The sights, smells and tastes of Northern California wine country come alive in Nose. Fans of the movies Sideways and Chocolat will find a lovable character in Clyde Craven-Jones, an esteemed critic and a man whose ego nearly surpasses his substantial girth. As the novel opens, Clyde blind-tastes a sampling of Cabernets and discovers one worthy of his highest score: a 20, on the Craven-Jones-on-wine scale; an accolade he's never before awarded. But the bottle has no origin. What follows is a humorous and engaging investigation into the mystery Cabernet led by Clyde's wife, Claire, and a couple of underdogs. James Conaway is the author of the nonfiction bestseller Napa: The Story of an American Eden and its sequel, The Far Side of Eden. He is the author of two novels, The Big Easy and World's End, and a book of travel essays, Vanishing America. Conaway has written for multiple magazines, among them Harper's, The Atlantic, Smithsonian, Gourmet, and National Geographic Traveler.
