Publisher's Synopsis
A layman's guide to the generic wines of France - no flamboyant, obscure descriptions, just plain talking for those - like Floyd - who enjoy a glass of wine.
The book accompanies 8 x 30 minute programmes for Channel 5, screening prime time from 9 November 1998
Each programme will be a mini regional wine tour, aided by Floyd's relaxed style. He'll meet the characters who reflect the lifestyle of the area, share a joke, a meal and a few bottles of the locally produced wine. He'll also be cooking up some delicious food, using wines of the various regions.
Master of Wine Jonathan Pedley adds weight to the informative side of the programme, and has a good rapport with Floyd. Pedley will explain all about wine tasting and the differences between the various wines - how they are made, characteristics, etc.
Book will feature locations shots of Floyd and Pedley in France and recipe shots. There will be 10 recipes - one or two for each region, 8 illustrated in colour.
Locations are: Loire, Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, Rhone, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne
