Book Cover
The qualities of honey wine inspired the cover art for the book. The three simple triangles evoke an ancient crown in a mosaic and provide a universal, antique, and mythological look. This expression is balanced with a modern wine glass replete with the recurring triangle motif.
Book Illustrations
Fifty custom illustrations help to tell our honey wine story. Take, for example, the chapter entitled "No Tannins," where one almost feels the puckering sensation of grape wine coating the tongue and pallet (as the woman dreams of no-tannin honey wine).
