CHAMPAGNE BABY How One Parisian Learned to Love Wine and Life the American Way

Laure Dugas hails from a wine-making family in France but never learned much about wine until she was hired by her uncle to tour the U.S. as a company representative. Thus begins her deep love affair with wine. As listeners get to know 23-year-old Laure, Christine Williams narrates both English and French with clear enunciation and vibrant enthusiasm. She savors the descriptions of wine tastings and confidently relays the inner workings of the wine industry. Listeners will not only hear Laure’s story but also learn about the various grapes and appellations used in French and American wines. A delightful listen for oenophiles, as well as for those eager to learn more about wine. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2016]
