Between Bordeaux and the Spanish border, reaching east to the
Massif Central and the river valleys of the Dordogne and Lot, and
south to the foothills of the Pyrenees, lies a unique and
little-known viticultural landscape. "South-West France" is a wine
lover's paradise that cultivates an astonishing array of grape
varieties, many that grow nowhere else, and produces a fascinating
assortment of wines. In this book, Paul Strang covers the
South-West with enthusiasm and keen expertise, providing a history
of its wine industry, including a near collapse and unlikely
rebirth, and introducing readers to a region that seems to defy
globalization. The outstanding local wines - made by idiosyncratic
growers motivated by a passion for their profession - range from
inky Tannats to honeyed late-harvest Semillons. Intrepid readers
are invited to rediscover this beautiful part of France, already
well known for its cuisine, castles, and cave art, for its earthy
and intriguing wines. This book is the winner of the 2009 GOURMAND
World Cookbook Awards' 'Best Wine Atlas/Tourism Book in the World'.
