I haven't posted about France or French desserts in a while, but I know that many of my regular readers love it when I do, and so do the search engine visitors, so this post is for all of you. I want to make sure you don't miss out on my giveaway, because it's a book about traveling in France and discovering its wine country (dessert wines! or wines for your desserts!) -- and the universal topic of discovering ourselves.

This is the link for you to enter:

A father, a daughter,
and a wine trip to end all wine trips!
CORKED: a memoir
by Kathryn Borel
*********************************

Memoirs and biographies are some of my favorite genres to read. I love non-fiction because I'm always trying to learn something new. This one will allow us to visit France, or travel vicariously if you will. Whether, like the author of the book, wines have eluded you all these years, or you are an expert like her father, the publisher promises this to be the "wine trip to end all wine trips."

So whether you like France or would like to discover France; you like wine or would like to discover wine; you like memoirs or non-fiction and would like the chance to get a free book during this economic crisis, be sure to enter the giveaway.

"After an accident and a death, Kathryn realizes that by shutting herself off to her father's relentless wine-stained orations, she has shut herself off from an integral part of him. And so, she proposes a father-daughter road trip. "Corked" is her no-holds-barred account of their tour through Alsace, Burgundy, Cotes du Rhone, and the Languedoc."
