Editorial Reviews Review If you're going to read only one book about wine, make it this one. And if you've read them all, try this as a marvelous refresher. -Simon Wilson, Cuisine magazine About the Author John Saker is one of N ew Zealand's best-known wine writers and a regular columnist for BMW Magazine.

ISBN: 978-0-958253 8-2-6 CHAPTER 1 In a French vineyard EVERY TIME I looked up, Ma rie-Thérèse's backside eclipsed the view. It was always moving aw ay from me, the pacesetter in a plodding patrol of backsides. Be nding double was the best way - or, more to the point, the least painful way - to attack the stout, un-trellised Provençal vines a nd strip them of their small dark orbs of juice. 'Back-breaking w ork' was, for once, the perfect description. If I stopped and unf olded I could temporarily tranquillise my angry spine, but I woul d also fall behind. Marie-Thérèse and her friends travelled down the vine rows like intent pecking hens among spilled seed. Tryin g to close the gap if their lead became embarrassing meant really stepping on the gas, and that held the potential for pain of a d ifferent sort. My left hand still carries traces of hurried misju dged lunges with those secateurs. We were a work gang of two hem ispheres: six New Zealanders - three young couples not long out o f university - and the rest mostly 60- and 70-something women fro m Flayosc, the nearby village perché that overlooked most of the vineyards in which we worked. The church bells of Flayosc dictate d the shape of our working days. Marie-Thérèse was the grande da me of Flayoscais grape-pickers. Her father had perished in the hu man abattoir of Verdun over 50 years earlier, and she had probabl y worked more vintages in these fields than anybody. She was hard -working, and shockingly provincial in outlook. When we shared ou r enthusiasm for someone we thought was a French cultural treasur e, Marie-Thérèse cut the conversation short. 'Piaf? She was nothi ng but a prostitute.' Yet behind the narrowed, assessing gaze an d blunt talk she seemed to like us, and made more effort than any one else to bridge the divide between our group's Old World old a nd New World young. She taught me the few lines of Provençal dial ect I can still muster, including Fa cao l'estiu, which translate s roughly as, 'She's hot out here, all right.' On the stroke of noon we'd stop for lunch, about a dozen of us gathering around ro ugh tables in cool stone huts. We usually brought our own food: b aguettes filled with saucisson, the French salami, or camembert c heese. Occasionally, a crop of home-grown pois chiches, or chick- peas, would appear in a huge bowl on the table. We'd help ourselv es, adding chopped onion, tomato, cornichon - pickled cucumber - and boiled egg. After a drenching in olive oil, it was ready to e at. And we drank. How we drank. We glugged down the red wine mad e the year before with fruit drawn from the same vineyards in whi ch we worked. It was a rough-and-ready blend of the workhorse gra pe varieties that clothe the southern French littoral - Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, perhaps a bit of Syrah. It was light - usual ly only about 11 percent alcohol - simple, and improved by being slightly chilled. The hearty draughts we downed from Arcoroc tumb lers barely touched the sides. We drank for every possible reaso n: for refreshment; for taste - it was a dependable companion for the simple foods we ate; and for the effect the alcohol had on u s. The wine took the edge off our soreness, rai.

From his early teens, when shooting hoops was a way of dealing with family tragedy, through to his scholarship to an American university, career in France as New Zealand's first professional player, and selection to the New Zealand Tall Blacks, Saker canvasses both highs and lows of a sport where players such as New Zealand's Steven Adams today command multimillion dollar salaries. 143 pages.
