If you enjoy wine and aren’t familiar with Randall Graham, read this. Especially like his discussion of terroir, aka wine of place.

If looking for a late summer read, this is fantastic. The political acumen of this twentieth century woman and some over arching parallels to what’s happening politically in the US today. Great book!
Going to be a fantastic read! The Last Empress of France by Evelyne Resnick & Petie Kladstrup (author of Wine & War). Eugenie de Montijo created haute couture, fought for women’s rights, opened France’s schools to girls and ruled the country as its last empress. #nonfiction

Still making stunning wine and still a w😮w story!
My acquaintance Namratha’s (Nam) book is next on my read list. I know it’s an incredible story of bravery -escaping an abusive marriage and starting over. She makes stunning wine now in Bordeaux! #Booksky #Winesky #biography
