I am posting for this meme a passage from a book
presented on France Book Tours
***
Click on the book cover to know more about the book
Loewenberg himself drank only his honey-scented and delightfully sweet Goldtröpfchen, except on certain special occasions. According to some, he was the richest man in Piesport. Benjamin thought this could be true. But the man’s production was minor in relation to his ambitions. He had set his sights on Saint Émilion.

Sounds like a very intriguing story – that cover really makes me think of Steeped in Evil by Laura Childs! 🙂
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).

I’d love to know what Goldtröpfchen actually is…. I’m so curious.
Happy weekend!

Here is a description of this wine: “one of the best-known individual vineyards (Einzellagen) in the Mosel region of Germany. It is located in the district (Grosslage) of Michelsberg, in, as the name implies, the town of Piesport. This vineyard consists of steep, slaty slopes arranged in a dramatic amphitheater-like shape for ideal exposure. The excellent Rieslings are typically sun-warmed and ripe, with pronounced slate minerality and balancing acidity.” found on http://www.snooth.com

The cover is not my favorite but the snippet makes it sound interesting. People thinking he is the richest man in the area and I want to know why. Happy Friday!

Sounds like a man with ambition. I am spotlighting Blood Cross by Faith Hunter this week. Look for my review tomorrow. Happy reading!
