About the Book: Kansas native and wine media veteran Lisa Kermashek Mattson has released The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men Who Rocked Me to Wine Country, a novel that cleverly harnesses the emotion of music-triggered memories through audio speakers on mobile devices. Using a collection of ex-boyfriends’ songs, the book follows the dating disasters and pipe dreams of Kansas transplant Harley Aberle, a redneck waitress from the Midwest who blossoms into a refined wine maven during her bewildering struggle to learn the difference between sex and love and the power of self-respect.
About Cellar Rat Wine Merchants: Cellar Rat Wine Merchants was founded in October of 2005 over a handshake and a glass (or several) of Montrachet, and opened its doors in August of 2006. The idea came from owner Kevin Hodge’s shared desire with his co-founders to open a smaller boutique wine shop that focused on selection, service and most importantly, quality.
