When you think of France in your mind what do you see? But, you see wine, of course! We have hundreds of grapes and many, many kinds of bottles. Let us count and sip as we go.
Also, we have tiny bites of cheese, the glory of our peasants..
Now, many people in the world, they say, “Oh, but it is too difficult. So full of complication! We do not know how to begin and we forget all the names. And all the wine tastes like wine and the cheese like cheese. We are neither gourmets nor connoisseurs. We are but simple eating people. Help us, St Just! Help us!”.
Okay, okay, okay. Listen to me. There are two things to remember and you will never go stray. I will make it like a poem so you will never ever forget. Okay?.
WINE is from the VINE,
And CHEESE it comes from THESE.
At the end of the poem you must point at some cows and goats..
That is enough for now, little ones. Next we will see how you can make white wine into red, but you cannot make red wine into white.
