Somerville and Ross, two Victorian ladies, embark on a tour of the Medoc wine region. They meet the workers as they harvest the grape crops and are viewed with amusement by the locals. Sketches add charm throughout the book. They are embarrassed by unsuccessful attempts at speaking French and include witty observations on their travels. They have an obvious naivety which adds humour to a light, enjoyable read.
