Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “From Mesopotamia to Pompeii: A Tale of 1001 Agricultural Bites” featuring Barbara Baxter, at 10:30 a.m. October 15, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library. This is a delicious look at how edible ingredients spurred the development of classic societies through food trade around the Mediterranean world. Over time, culinary traditions changed drastically in and around the shores of Persia, North Africa and Southern Europe. Join our audience to compare those changes with our modern ways. Barbara Baxter studied wine at Sorbonne University, Paris, and continued her inquiry into its heritage ever since. She created the visitor education program for Francis Ford Coppola’s Rubicon Estate, and has worked for two of Napa Valley’s most prestigious wineries: Sterling Vineyards and Opus One. Barbara is the editor of Planet Wine, and has also made wine in Napa Valley. The only independent wine historian lecturing in the US, Barbara has been a featured speaker on the custom and heritage of wine as bridge between wine, cuisine and art. Her weekly blog on www.PlanetWine.Net is a lively forum on the art of wine, and the happenings in its world. This event is free and open to the public. A tasting will follow the presentation.
