A fascinating book is about one woman's quest in starting a vineyard. The work involved towards growing grapes; resulting in the making of a great bottle of wine. The tale of the grape from the beginning to the end; the 'bans de vendage' and eventually, the great bottle of wine being shipped to a customer.
The reader will look at grapes and a bottle of wine differently after reading this book. A wonderful story about the southwest area of France.
