| #217 Paris? Mais oui! |
 A
German guiding an American television crew through Paris?
It might sound odd, but German food and wine journalist
Jorg Zipprick knows his stuff, and now so do we. Zipprick
takes us on a whirlwind tour of Paris, from the markets,
to the cheese shop, to his favorite gem of a bistro. We'll
also take time to soak up a little of the highlife at the
fabulous Hotel Crillion, and we'll rub elbows with perhaps
the world's greatest chef, Alain Ducasse. This show might
just change your mind about the Germans in France. It did
mine! |

| #218 Tuscan Travels |
 Join
us on a Tuscan visit to three of the most significant wineries
in the region: Ruffino, Gabbiano, and Brolio. We’ll
start with the riches of Chianti Classico and the wines
of Ruffino. The family is one of the largest vineyard holders
in Tuscanys and their wines are among the best. From there,
we’ll head to the more modern estate of Castello di
Gabbiano, producers of one of America’s favorite Chiantis.
Last, the ancient estate of Castello di Brolio, one of
Tuscany’s oldest wine producing families. Three very
different Tuscan wineries with one thing in common, a love
and passion for the place they call home.

| #219 Beaujolais to Banfi |
 We
start in the rolling hillsides of Beaujolais in the very
southern part of Burgundy. The man known as the "king
of Beaujolais" is George DuBoeuf. His portfolio of
wines is impressive, and so is his headquarters, The Hamlet
of Wine. From the wine museum to the cantina, everything
is first-rate at George DuBoeuf, and we will see it all.
Later, we head to Montalcino, in Southern Tuscany, origins
of the famous Brunello di Montalcino wines. Of all of the
Montalcino estates, none is more impressive than Castello
Banfi. We'll tour the vineyards, explore the castello,
and pair Banfi wines with Banfi cuisine. It's bound to
be delicious. |
