There is plenty here for the serious wine buffs too, as the author sets about exploring the region to discover, from a variety of local sources, the history and growth of the wine business in the region and how the various wines are produced. I also found that part of it fascinating. It certainly sounds as if he had a jolly time along the way too!

I felt quite sad when December came and the author had to say farewell to all his new friends and others! I really do hope he goes back and we hear more.

If I were taking only one book on holiday to France this year it would be this one - amusing, informative and enjoyable - altogether a great read.
