As they settle into the rhythm of life in the peaceful village of La Montagne Noire, they fall in love with the food, the wine, the mountains, the town, and the rich life they are living there. With joy and humor, Ken captures the essence of French village life. Bing, a professional artist, provided illustrations for "Bon Courage: Rediscovering the Art of Living in the Heart of France."

Fourth segment of this weeks Show: Finger Lakes Wines Enjoy Long History of Appealing to Wide Audience - Becky Sue Epstein

The Finger Lakes region of New York is an eight-hour drive from Boston for Becky Sue Epstein but this is her first visit. She speaks to us from Seneca Lake on tour with a a group of wine writers from the U.K who have never experienced a North American Vitis Labrusca (Concord for example) wine let alone a French American hybrid white or red varietal which are widely planted in the region. Epstein likens their warm reception and lack of pretense to what visiting a north coast California winery must have been like 50 years ago. She'll be back to the Finger Lakes wine-growing region of New York and hopes that you will be inspired as well.
