Title: An affectionate, informative book about France and wine
Review: Michael Sanders obviously loves Cahors and the people who live there, and this affection suffuses Families of the Vine and makes it special. The book follows the making of the local wine appellation from planting to harvesting to bottling to marketing, with a few side trips along the way. Sanders is rueful and humorous about what he doesn't know, and the local citizens patiently explain their cultures and behaviors to him (not to mention their dreams). And he brings us along with him while he learns. The sections when he sits at a lunch table, sipping a Cahors and listening to Yves and Martine Jouffreau talk about their work and lives, are just blissful. And there is more good sense about buying wine in a chapter featuring a local sommelier than there is in a stack of Wine Spectators. If you are a Francophile (like me), or a wine lover (like me), or simply want a gentle, informative read, you'll enjoy the book.
