The French Vineyard Table

3/5 ( ratings)

In The French Vineyard Table, Georges Blanc takes you on a culinary journey of France, exploring each of its famous wine regions and sampling the cuisine. At every stop, Blanc describes the geography, history, and climate of the land. But, more important, he discusses the kinds of wine it produces, from the Riesling and Gewurztraminer of Alsace to the eponymous wines of Bordeaux, Beaujolais, and Champagne. Under Blanc's master hand, these wines become ingredients in some of the most spectacular dishes you're likely to see. Ratatouille d'escargots has a light touch of Chablis, wild duck is sauteed with a sauce of cherries and Pinot Noir, sole is served with pureed green beans floating in a sauce of Pouilly-Fuisse, and lamb fillets are marinated in olive oil and garlic with thyme and served with a sauce of red wine. This is food to dream about. Christopher Baker's photographs do full justice to each of these dishes, while his views of the countryside offer an astonishing range of the picturesque beauty of France.
