Richard Olney examines the wine-producing regions of France, creating ten vineyard lunches which draw their inspiration from the particular wines, revealing the individual character of each one. He takes a journey round the vineyards enabling the reader to learn about wine through food. His combinations of food and wine include a gratin of fresh figs with Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise and truffled sausages with pistachios accompanied by Macon-Village. Richard Olney, a member of the Academie Internationale du Vin, has been writing about wine and food since 1951, and his previous books include The French menu cookbook , Simple French food and Yquem .
