About this product

Product Information

Diffident to express your wine tasting vocabulary other than 'Yuk!' or 'Yum!'? Read on. Beginning Wine Lovers need to kw French wine because it is the quality standard against which all other wines are measured. In THE FRENCH WINE LOVER'S BIBLE, you will learn basic kwledge such as that White Burgundy can only be made with Chardonnay. And Red Burgundy is made 100% with Pit Noir. By law! That the difference between Grand Cru Classe Bordeaux and the neighboring communes of Pomerol and St. Emilion is weather and the varietals planted in the vineyards. It's cooler in inland Pomerol/St. Emilion and warmer where Bordeaux reaches into the Atlantic and is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift. You may forever remember that St. Emilion/Pomerol glory in early ripening varietals such as Cabernet Franc and Merlot while their warmer neighbors-Pauillac, Ste. Estephe, St.-Julien and Margaux--can ripen Cabernet Sauvign of fantastic quality (when Bordeaux has a fantastic vintage which only happens 3 years out of 10). The reader will learn of the Sauvign Blanc wines grown on both sides of the Loire River. And too learn of the fantastic Syrah grape grown in the rthern reaches of the Rhone Valley south of Burgundy and expressed regally in the Cote-Rotie, Hermitage, St. Joseph and Cornas. The new wine lover will learn too of the white wines of Macon just south of the Cote d'Or, that river of those Chardonnays kwn already too many newbies as St. Veran and Pouilly-Fuisse. And of Champagne, Chablis, Alsace and the Loire River valley with its Sauvign Blancs and Muscadet. And the picnic wines of Beaujolais. And finally learn of Provence Rose and Languedoc/Rousillon the great source of bulk wine destined to become cheap supermarket wine. The French were the first---and justifiably so-to proclaim their wines the greatest. The image took. And this quality image continues to shine brightly-and deservedly--outward from the legendary and historic vineyards of France. Competition from Italy, Spain and the New World is fierce when it comes to quality wines, but French wine remains the standard of comparison. Allons, mes amis!

Very timely delivery, safely packaged and as described. Good communications. All good with this seller. Not so much with his chosen courier. I was home all day but no attempt to deliver in person, package was left, unannounced, in an exposed, unsafe, visible location right at my front fence line. Very unsatisfactory.

Be mindful that just because item says sent..this is not necessarily correct. You can think it's gone missing when it hasn't, as I did. My item said sent 2 1/2 weeks before it was posted when I know it only takes 2- 3 days tops when you're in the same state. Other than that, very happy with the purchase & seller responds quickly to communication.
