As Eric Delalande, a brilliant chef who traded Madison Avenue for Place des March\u00e9s in Vill\u00e8sque, a remote village in the Corbi\u00e8res, says: Le plus \u00e7a change, le plus c\u2019est la meme chose. Or &#8220;They can\u2019t touch our food or our wine!&#8221;<br \/>       What Americans consider elitist and fetishy &#8211; wine-making, fancy cooking &#8211; is almost democratic for the\u00a0French. There are endless stories of a quasi-motorcycle gang having long discussions about a sauce or character of the wine with a maitre d\u2019. Tant mieux! Pleasure is a reality, and reality pleasure in a pleasantly confusing way.<br \/>      The wine-makers I met during our tour around the Corbi\u00e8res prove that working the earth not for skeptics, not for critics, but for those who connect, all in, body and mind, with what they do. In a certain way, the famous critical thinking of the French turns to deep earnestness, to sharing, to values. You can question the meaning of life endlessly, in circles all you want, but test it against a gaspacho with frozen ch\u00e8vr\u0119 scoop, a grilled magret with a glass of Fitou, and the moment gains a bit of forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gazpacho-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2007\" width=\"366\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gazpacho-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gazpacho-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jillpearlman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gazpacho-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the French take to the barricades to figure out what the country is about, one thing they don\u2019t doubt is food.
