One For the Road

Alister Kershaw was ABC Radio’s Paris Correspondent for many years and wrote classic books on French manners, like The History of the Guillotine and Murder in France. With this book though, he tells of his life in the small hill-town of Maison Salle, and its wine makers; and gives us both the joy and horror of his twelve greatest drinks ever. From Melbourne to Paris and London, and deep in the south of France, this is something to savour for the earnest traveller.
