In a world where parenting advice often feels heavy, wine industry veteran Danielle Frank helps harried parents turn tantrums into tasting notes and stress into satire. In her debut book, A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting: The Fine Art of Wine & Whine Management, Frank pairs real wine knowledge with relatable child-rearing chaos, reminding adults that sometimes the healthiest response to a meltdown is a well-timed metaphor and a well-poured merlot.
Written strictly for adults and peppered with candid, uncensored language, this tongue-in-cheek collection transforms parenting’s most trying moments into clever, rhyming “lessons.” With whimsical illustrations and wordplay like “Much Like a Fine Wine, A Kid Needs To Breathe” and “Que Syrah, Syrah … What Will Be, Will Be!” Frank reframes frustration as fermentation — proof that a little time, perspective and humor can improve almost anything.
“As an avid wine lover, someone who works in the wine and spirits industry, and a nurturer, I loved bridging these two worlds,” Frank said. “As a proud aunt, I get the best seat in the house. I witness the triumphs and the tantrums, but with a glass in hand and no carpool duty.”
New York Times #1 bestselling author Brad Thor raves, “Smart, funny, and exactly what every parent needs! A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting goes down easy and pairs perfectly with surviving parenthood.”
Witty, satirical and intended as an homage to hard-working parents everywhere, A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting can help anyone who expends their energy raising the next generation to look at life through rosé colored glasses.
