Cutchogue - Bedell Cellars (36225 Main Road, 631-734-7537, www.bedellcellars.com) will host author and leading wine personality Mark Oldman for a book signing on Sunday, May 15 at 2 p.m. Released this past fall, Oldman's "Brave New World of Wine: Pleasure, Value, and Adventure Beyond Wine's Usual Suspects" offers a look inside the wine world's best-kept secrets: lesser known wines of moderate cost and maximum appeal.

The original and entertaining guide highlights the wine world's most exciting frontiers and best values. Each chapter introduces a "brave new pour," offering insight on the taste, origin, price, pronunciation and what wine-enthusiast celebrities have to comment on it. Oldman's humor and flair throughout the book ensure the book a delightful read with useful information.

Cheat sheets integrated throughout the book offer wine and food pairings, tasting tips and recommendations. Quotes from notable celebrities include Dan Aykroyd, Julio Iglesias, Antonio Banderas, Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Hilary Swank, Mario Batali and Tom Colicchio. Books will be available for purchase at the event ($19.95). The event will take place on the pavilion overlooking the vines at Bedell Cellars. Complimentary pours of a select red and white wine will be offered during the event. There is no cost to attend the event, but reservations are suggested.
