THE DEATH OF A WINE SALESMAN
“I’ve got to get some seeds. I’ve got to get some seeds, right away. Nothing’s planted. I don’t have a thing planted in the ground….” - Willie Loman, from Arthur Miller’s classic THE DEATH OF A WINE SALESMAN
Arthur Miller’s Lastest Classic Is Based On True Accounts About: Grape Shortages, Excess Sales, Frozen Roads Crossing the Andes, Forest Fires, Droughts, Port-Strikes, Fuel Surcharges, Death Threats from Gangsters, Marketing Gimmicks, Fake Bottles Sold at Auction and The Working Man’s Prayer for Adequate Distribution.
“I’m gonna show you and everybody else that Willie Loman did not die in vain. Now let’s get the wine out of that oven you call ‘Storage’ and see if it’s still drinkable.” - Happy Loman
“A salesman is got to dream, boy. It comes with the territoy. That and a salesman has got to have a sense of humor… else the Wine Industry will kill ‘em before one starts.” - Guru Arjan Dev
“Baudelaire could make a wine bottle talk, fight, curse and make love in an infested Parisian alley all at the same time, but these were all images of Baudelaire indulging himself in himself, self-destructive patterns that could be avoided. Yet Miller’s ‘The Death of A Wine Salemsan’ is a true account of the Wine Industry, and on a given night, it could happen to any one of us.” - Raymond P. Scheindlin, author of Wine, Women and Death: Medieval Hebrew Poems on the Good Life

THE SPECIAL AND THE GENERAL THEORY
PRICING
(Above: Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore)
“TAKE my wine in my own cup, friend.”
A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF JOINING WORDS AND SEPARATING SYLLABLES THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND
by
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Critical Praise:
“A Yardstick for which other books about Grand Crus may look upon as if they were Daniel Plainview and ask, ‘Why don’t I own this?’ ”
— Clive Coates
Excerpt:
“From 1926 to 1933, Einstein and I worked together to invent a home refrigerator powered only by heat. Originally I asked, ‘Why Albert?’ He would always reply, ‘Someday, I will tell you.’ Then in January of 1934 I saw Albert dressed like a chevalier, waving a sword in the air, asking an innkeeper if he would pour wine through the opening in his helmet. ‘Never in vain, forever in Wine,’ he told the innkeeper… and that was the last time I saw Albert.”
– Leo Szilard
“It is the most difficult mathematical task I have ever faced” - Albert Einstein
