The English translation of *Living as Gort in France*

Twenty years ago, Ilja Gort bought a run-down wine château near Bordeaux, which, over a period of ten years, he managed to transform into a highly successful winery. Today, his La Tulipe wines are winning numerous awards at international wine fairs and are available for sale all over the world.

Surviving in France is Gort’s humorous account of his first years as a château owner and winemaker. In his uniquely witty style, he details the ins and outs of life at a French wine château. He uncovers well-kept secrets about wine and reveals what it took to make his dream come true. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes profound, but always sincere. A delightful book, and a must-read for every Francophile out there.
