Compelling story of Patricia Atkinson who, from nothing became a highly respected connaisseur of french wine.
This is a really MUST read . True story of one woman who alone went to france with no knowledge whatsoever of wine. Bought 4 hectares of vinyard and transformed her life to become a real connaisseur of wine and sat on the board of wine tasters in Bergerac.Deserted by her husband, She tells of all the disasters and tragedies that befell her enterprise but continued undaunted to become hugely successful. Absolutely compelling reading. Just posted two copies to my friends in france who live very close to the wine Chateau she created.
