Alsatian wines are sensational, and here's a great chance to taste them at the Salon Degusta Food Festival. It's being held in the impressive Automobile Museum-- Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse among the gleaming Rolls-Royces and the two Bugatti Royales, Hispano-Suiza and other legendary names. There are 437 cars from 97 different makes. Quite a collection.
Over 200 exhibitors will fill the halls with Basque salt meats, cheese from St Nectaire, cakes from Brittany, jams, preserves and honeys, and delicacies from all over France. Going down well with this cornucopia of food is a selection of wines to taste. Try vintage Burgundys, the great Bordeaux and Touraines wines and the Alsation gems plus names like St. Emilion, Margaux and Pomerol. Of course, this being a French food show, there are restaurants galore to eat at, offering regional dishes from well-known French chefs.
