Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs (wine usually
seems to be made in attractive surroundings) as well as maps, the
books in this series describe the wine-producing regions of each
country. The authors recommend itineraries, list wineries, describe
the local cuisines, suggest wine bars and restaurants, and provide
a mass of practical information--much of which is not readily
available elsewhere Each title includes: o Itineraries and maps o
Local gastronomic specialties o Hundreds of visitor-friendly
wineries o Descriptions of local and regional wines o Museums and
sightseeing points o Lists of wine festivals and exhibitions o
Restaurants, hotels and wine stores o Reference section and
glossary France is the home of many of the world's greatest
wines--nowhere else will you find such a warm welcome awaiting you
in the cellar. Every one of the country's wine regions produces a
unique selection of wines, often made with grapes used nowhere else
for winemaking. Christopher Fielden describes France's most
important wine-producing areas, gives the background to the wines,
and provides a guide to visiting the best producers. Hundreds of
wineries that welcome visitors are listed, together with their
addresses, telephone numbers, websites and opening times.
Christopher Fielden is a cheerful and knowledgeable guide. The
French wine regions and their vineyards are well drawn. There are
clear guidelines for visiting wineries and tasting their wines. Is
there a charge for tasting? Are you expected to spit? (Yes in
Burgundy; no in Alsace.) This book provides answers to these and
many other questions.
