Great book for visiting Calvados, Normandy, France,
By
This review is from: Calvados: The World's Premier Apple Brandy (Hardcover)
I really found this book useful for my trip to Normandy. The hundreds of adresses and the detailed map to producers I have found nowhere else. Thanks to the book I got some unforgettable visits and unique Calvados. Great inspiration, entertaining facts and illustrations combined with pictures of the beatiful lush green landscape and half timbered houses of Normandy. I recommend it to anyone that's interested in fine spirits.

Beautifully presented book, it explores all aspects of the subject from myths to apples to cider to distillation into calvados. Wonderfully illustrated with many photos of Normandy evoking the spirit of the land(forgive the pun). Highly recommended
