Description

AUTOBIOGRAPHY: GENERAL. Fresh, charming, and wholly irresistible, Champagne Baby turns a familiar tale on its head: Instead of another American seeking the French secret to good living, a Frenchwoman finds her purpose-much to her surprise-in America. Laure Dugas is a champagne baby, born into a family of winemakers from two of the most storied regions of France: Champagne and the Rhone Valley. When Laure was an infant, her mother would dip a finger in wine and dab it on her lips to acclimate her to the taste and aroma. But Laure wants little to do with the family business. It is only at twenty-three, when her uncle offers to send her to New York City to learn English and represent his wines to the American market, that she bids adieu to her boyfriend, Jules, and begins her journey of discovery.
