Blacksburg Wine Lab presents a Book Club Meeting featuring the book "Wine & War" by Don and Petie Kladstrup on Sunday, April 30, 2023.
Nicole Shenandoah, from Siema Wines will be hosting the meeting. She is selecting four delicious wines for us to taste. Chef Bryan will create a pairing board of house made dips and snacks to accompany our tasting.
"Wine & War" is the remarkable untold story of France's courageous, clever vintners who protected and rescued the country's most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II.
In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown, until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. "Wine and War" illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.
The ticket price is $40.00 and this includes the wine tasting, book discussion and crafted bites to accompany the wine!
