"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Friedrich, a former lawyer who now lives in Touraine and who has been writing about wine and food for ten years, has done a masterful job of taking one region of France?the Loire?and delving deeply into its geography, food and wine history, climate, soil, grape varieties, winemakers, and chateaux. She devotes a chapter to every subregion?the Nantais, Anjou and Saumur, Touraine, the Sancerrois, and the Auvergne. Within each, she offers analysis of the wines and ratings of various producers and vintages. The appendixes include tips to maximize your dining, drinking, and sightseeing pleasure in the Loire. At the end are a short glossary, a temperature guide for serving Loire wines, and conversion tables. With its scholarship and breadth, this book could double as the perfect guide for a winemaster's tour. Recommended particularly for large wine collections.?Wendy Miller, Lexington P.L., Ky.
