You will travel with Jefferson to the vineyards of Burgundy, Cote Rotie, Hermitage, Bordeaux, Champagne, through Provence, over the Alps into Italy, along the French and Italian Rivieras... down the Rhine... You will eavesdrop on dinner conversations... at the White House and Monnticello...Through a combination of original research, imaginative writing and beautiful illustrations, Jim Gabler has captured an intimate portrait of Thomas Jefferson at leisure, enjoying two of his passions - wine and travel." .
