From a rundown of the best wines for each parental situation to a true love for all-things wine, this is the perfect read for moms and dads in need of a little me-time. The book boasts a fold-out Periodic Table of W(h)ine, so you can record all of the recommended wines (and accompanying rotten behaviors) that you've experienced.

    Vanessa M. said:  Ben Falcone, actor and husband of actress Melissa McCarthy, authors this funny and intimate look at fatherhood from his own experiences raising two daughters, as well as life lessons he learned from his own father. Because we can all agree being a dad is weird, this book may be just the thing to make you see the lighter and weirder side of being a father.
