Two writers travel to California’s Wine Country to interview a man who whispers to grapes. He walks through vines speaking in ancient tongues and whispering timeless tales that permeate the vintage.
The writers ultimately encounter a powerful Pacific storm and find refuge in a remote wine estate with four strangers. With no electricity, no cell signal, and no way down until morning --- the group spends the night picking out wines and taking turns telling the story of their life.
Their night together is at once an escape and a deliverance. Together they find harmony, breakthroughs, and new friends. Without smart technology, hyperlinks, neural networks, or search engines --- six strangers are brought together by stories of the heart, whispers from the earth, and wine.
The legend of the grape whisperer brings the reader back to the earth, the seasons of life, and the soul of man.

Imagine the act of posting, pinning and tweeting fueling a communication renaissance instead of a broad, linguistic decline?
This new work of contemporary literary fiction transcends the impersonal dialogue of our times with a fresh, observational style and a uniquely creative perspective. It is a call to arms to take back the written word and reignite the art of storytelling.
