Ten Vineyard Lunches

by Richard Olney

says

Reading anything by the late Richard Olney is pure pleasure, and the fact that this book puts primary focus on wine – a topic on which he was very knowledgeable – makes this book stand out from some of his other works. Written in 1988, it’s a glimpse into the past, and into timeless French gastronomic traditions.

from the publisher

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.
