Bouquet

The account of two couples’ irresistibly joyful romp through the vineyards and restaurants of France. The author, G. B. Sterns, recounts her 1926 tour of the vineyards of France with her husband Johnny, and her friends Rosemary and Humphrey. Together they journey from Provence to the Rhône, across the Massif Central to Bordeaux, then up to the Loire Valley and across to Burgundy, finally completing a full circle in Avignon. Stern does not shy away from the occasional rant, and the one in which she addresses men’s sexism in regards to women and wine, is magnificent. (EatDrink's synopsis) “It was in a sense a triumphal tour, and Ms. Stern has set it down with that happy sense of humor, that perfect eye for the slightly ridiculous and that instinctive understanding of French character that lifts “Bouquet” very far from the usual dry book on wine to a light literary plane.” – New York Times, July 1927 Printed in America with Eco-Friendly Ink on FSC Certified Paper.
