Editorial Reviews Review If you're going to read only one book about wine, make it this one. And if you've read them all, try this as a marvelous refresher. -Simon Wilson, Cuisine magazine About the Author John Saker is one of N ew Zealand's best-known wine writers and a regular columnist for BMW Magazine. Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rights res erved. How to Drink a Glass of Wine By John Saker Awa Press Co pyright ® 2005 John Saker All rights reserved. ISBN: 978-0-958253 8-2-6 CHAPTER 1 In a French vineyard EVERY TIME I looked up, Ma rie-Thérèse's backside eclipsed the view. It was always moving aw ay from me, the pacesetter in a plodding patrol of backsides. Be nding double was the best way - or, more to the point, the least painful way - to attack the stout, un-trellised Provençal vines a nd strip them of their small dark orbs of juice. 'Back-breaking w ork' was, for once, the perfect description. If I stopped and unf olded I could temporarily tranquillise my angry spine, but I woul d also fall behind. Marie-Thérèse and her friends travelled down the vine rows like intent pecking hens among spilled seed. Tryin g to close the gap if their lead became embarrassing meant really stepping on the gas, and that held the potential for pain of a d ifferent sort. My left hand still carries traces of hurried misju dged lunges with those secateurs. We were a work gang of two hem ispheres: six New Zealanders - three young couples not long out o f university - and the rest mostly 60- and 70-something women fro m Flayosc, the nearby village perché that overlooked most of the vineyards in which we worked. The church bells of Flayosc dictate d the shape of our working days. Marie-Thérèse was the grande da me of Flayoscais grape-pickers. Her father had perished in the hu man abattoir of Verdun over 50 years earlier, and she had probabl y worked more vintages in these fields than anybody. She was hard -working, and shockingly provincial in outlook. When we shared ou r enthusiasm for someone we thought was a French cultural treasur e, Marie-Thérèse cut the conversation short. 'Piaf? She was nothi ng but a prostitute.' Yet behind the narrowed, assessing gaze an d blunt talk she seemed to like us, and made more effort than any one else to bridge the divide between our group's Old World old a nd New World young. She taught me the few lines of Provençal dial ect I can still muster, including Fa cao l'estiu, which translate s roughly as, 'She's hot out here, all right.' On the stroke of noon we'd stop for lunch, about a dozen of us gathering around ro ugh tables in cool stone huts. We usually brought our own food: b aguettes filled with saucisson, the French salami, or camembert c heese. Occasionally, a crop of home-grown pois chiches, or chick- peas, would appear in a huge bowl on the table. We'd help ourselv es, adding chopped onion, tomato, cornichon - pickled cucumber - and boiled egg. After a drenching in olive oil, it was ready to e at. And we drank. How we drank. We glugged down the red wine mad e the year before with fruit drawn from the same vineyards in whi ch we worked. It was a rough-and-ready blend of the workhorse gra pe varieties that clothe the southern French littoral - Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, perhaps a bit of Syrah. It was light - usual ly only about 11 percent alcohol - simple, and improved by being slightly chilled. The hearty draughts we downed from Arcoroc tumb lers barely touched the sides. We drank for every possible reaso n: for refreshment; for taste - it was a dependable companion for the simple foods we ate; and for the effect the alcohol had on u s. The wine took the edge off our soreness, rai. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2001q
