FAMILIES OF THE VINE Michael Sanders ~ 1st Ed PB 2005 French Wine
$6.50
Seasons Among the Winemakers of Southwest France. Softcover, very minor edgewear, one page has a turned corner, pages are otherwise unmarked.
350 pages, first edition, Bantam Books, 2005. The photograph forms part of the description.
Michael Sanders invites the reader into the working lives of three families whose sole crop is the grapes grown in their vineyards, grapes from which they all make very good, yet quite different, wine, as they have been doing for more than four generations. The story follows them throughout the winemaking year, from the hopes of spring, through the drama of a summer drought and heat wave, to the mad dash of fall harvest, and then into the wine barns heady with the smells of fermentation and the reek of aging barrels. Rich with the history and tradition of French winemaking, Families of the Vine is told through the voices of winemakers and their friends, from a barrelmaker in Bordeaux to a sommelier in a one-star restaurant. Whether puzzling over the maddeningly imprecise French concept of terroir or taking a gentle swipe at the 'science' of wine tasting, Michael Sanders has an engaging writing style that will appeal to amateur and enthusiast alike.
