A tale of the travels of a wine merchant through France's wine regions where he spends several months each year tasting and buying, searching out great wines and talented wine makers. It describes the passions, beliefs, strengths and weaknesses of growers and negociants from both chateaux and farmhouses. Good and bad practices in wine-making are held up for inspection and the wines themselves are judged by their finesse, balance and personality.
