Description

More literary than instructive you will not find much about wine here but a lot about winemakers. I loved it.
This book is about France and about the making of wine, but in addition it is about some interesting characters met along the exploratory wine route. If you like this, you would probably also like Adventures On the Wine Route by Kermit Lynch, written some years ago.
