Cathi and I are having so much fun with our podcast and hopefully you all are too!
Check out Episode 4 – Chaos, Cruises and Chardonnay which goes along with the information in this post. We are also on itunes, spotify and google play under Game of Books.
We started out with choosing a wine to taste and this week it was my choice. I chose Louis Jadot Macon-Villages Chardonnay which both Cathi and I enjoyed very much. It is a French, unoaked Chardonnay so it tastes different than what we are used to from California. It also was close to the expensive Chablis wine shared in the mystery novel I chose … just more affordable at under $20. If you get a chance check out the Louis Jadot website and play with the little flags to see it in different languages – fun!
The book and food scenes I discussed was Chaos by Patricia Cornwell, who I described as the rockstar of forensic thrillers. Her recurring character Kay Scarpetta is a medical examiner who also is a great cook and foodie so all of her books feature good meals and wine. Chaos is book 24 in the series, so get reading!
Cathi chose a dark thriller set on a cruise ship. The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware sounds so intriguing and is set to be made into a movie. The food scene was completely unique and somewhat creepy featuring grass and buffalo foam … I want to read it and also want to meet Ruth Ware for coming up with that menu!
Hope you all have a great weekend and maybe enjoy a French Chardonnay with one of the food ideas from our podcast.
