    The situation in Greeceis really scary. The wholeeconomic system iscollapsing. It is impossi-ble to collect the moneyfor the next installmentof our debt, and I dontknow what else the

    governors can ask fromthe people to pay. Peoplehave nothing else to giveexcept their souls.People take care only forthe very indispensablethings. First of all food.Cookbooks are the lastthing people under thiseconomic pressure will

    think to buy. Since Ja-nuary I have sold 300cookbooks. Last year inthe same period I hadsold 3,000 and two yearsago 6,000. The money Icollect is not enough tolive, so I spend moneyfrom my savings. ButI dont know how long

    they will last. I quit mysecretary working for mefor 14 years and alsomy helper. I am coun-ting each penny, I spend

    trying to make economy.As for the cooking andlifestyle magazines thesituation is worse. Whocares about fancy andGourmand food when hehas no money to buy theingredients for a simple

    plane meal, for the family.Comparing with Icelandwe are more lucky asthe traditional productsof Greek cuisine neverhave been luxurious andexpensive. As Greecenever was a very richcountry people used tocook for years vegeta-

    bles, pulses, homemadepasta and cracked wheatdishes and also all kindsof stuffed with groundmeat vegetables or otheringredients.The famous Bean Soup(Fasolada) was the veryspecial soup that savedus from starving during

    the German occupationin the second World War.So because of the cri-sis we will return to ourtraditional dishes and

    believe me it is for ourgoodness as this diet isthe healthiest one. Alldieticians recommend. Tobe healthy use less meat

    less sh, much vegeta-bles, legumes and wheat.Greece this moment is

    standing on the top ofa hill and in front is theprecipice and behind isan abyss. Staying in theEuro, 10 or more misera-ble years will follow andpeople will get poorerand poorer with new cutsof pension and salari-es. Going back to the

    Greek coin and leavingthe Euro-zone we cantborrow new packagesof help and immediatelythere will not be moneyfor the pensions and sa-laries at all. Choosing the

    rst option we are con-demned to a slow death,choosing the second it is

    a suicide. So there is noway to escape. We justare praying, asking helpfrom the God.People are desperate. In

    the last two years we had2,000 suicides. And themost common diseasethis days is depressi-on. There are peoplesearching for food to therubbish heaps thrown outof the supermarket at the

    end of the day. They arelooking for anything in agood condition to feedtheir children. The Marketis dead.The stores are closingone after the other andpeople go out of theirworks. My daughter An-gie had the Vefas House

    franchise consisting by26 stores around Gree-ce. Now there are onlyve and all the others left

    unpaid debts. So Angieowe money to the bankand she is in a tragic con-dition.

    When Michel Chasseuilstarted his Rare WineCollection forty years

    ago, he was the frst to

    want to create a RareWine Museum. He wasnot buying bottles todrink them or make mo-ney by investing.

    He wanted to save therare wine treasures andcreate a collection for amuseum which would

    become the referencefor research and wine

    culture. In the begin-ning rare wine bottleswere very reasonablyprices. Collectors fromthe United States star-ted to push the pricessteadily up. A big jumpup was created by the

    Japanese boom sometwenty years ago. The

    market kept going up.Now a new increase isforeseen because of the

    Chinese new collectors.The Chasseuil Coll-ection is now valuedat 40 Million Euros, in

    numbers 40.000.000Euros, which is forChina approximately332.000.000 RMB.This could be seen as asuccess for an investor.For Michel Chasseuil, itis a problem, becauseof taxes in France. If hedies owning the collec-

    tion, his estate taxes willbe very high, probably

    more than half. The onlysolution then would beto sell the collection andbreak it up, which wouldbe the end of the dreamof Michel Chasseuil.

    So he has decided

    to create a non proftFoundation, and give

    his collection to thefoundation. He is verygenerous: his family will

    not receive the money,but the collection willremain as a museumreference for rare wi-

    nes. Every year, theFoundation will arrangefor funds to buy the newwines, to keep the colle-ction growing.

    The Foundation willarrange exhibitions ofthe collection, focusingon world wine culture,

    including all countries. Itwill encourage wine cul-

    ture research. It will helppublish wine books.The main goal will beto protect and deep thecollection together.Michel Chasseuil triedto buy three bottles orthree boxes of each:

    one to keep in thecollection forever, one

    to drink, and one toexchange or sell in thefuture. So there are

    duplicate bottles thatcan be used to keepthe collection alive byfinancing or facilitating

    getting new bottles.

    The board of the Foun-dation is now made ofthree members, MichelChasseuil, his son Je-remy, and Marcel Gu-igal. It is advised by theCommittee of the Wise.These wine experts also

    have much experienceand inuence, to help

    the foundation:Vadim Beliakov (luxurydistribution in Russia),Michel Bettane (Jour-nalist, France), MichaelBroadbent (Wine livingmonument and legend,Great Britain), Nicolo

    Boyko (wine expert,Ukraine), Aymeric De

    Clouet (expert in rarewines), Edouard Coin-treau (Wine Culture

    tion Cartier, France)and Elis Ponsolle desPortes (French luxurybrands, Comit Colbert,France).The Foundation wascreated in early 2012.The rst meeting of

    the Committee of theWise was May 22, at

    Paris restaurant Apici-us, which was a privateevent. At that meetingthe planning started fora big public fund-raisingevent in Paris in the Fallof 2012, which will beopen to all serious winelovers of rare bottles.The main decision ofthe Foundation now isto nd an appropriate

    permanent location forthe museum. It can onlybe done with the helpof public institutions. InFrance, the elections ofMay 2012 have dela-yed the process. Thereare also some othercountries that have

    expressed interest. Themuseum should allowfor perfect keeping ofthe collection. It shouldinclude research ca-pacity. It should allowthe public to visit, andsupport the collection.At the moment over twothirds of the collection

    is French wine, it isexpected the collectionwill include more andmore wines from othercountries. Chinese

    wines will be an impor-tant part of the collec-tion, which only has afew bottles of Mao Taiand Wuliangye at themoment. Chinese winecollection in China is

    now even more advan-ced than western winecollection.The Michel Chasseuilbook 100 ExtraordinaryBottles is now publis-

    hed in eight languages.The most recent oneis the Chinese edition,launched in Beijing inMay 4, 2012 by OrientalPress. The Chinese edi-tion has been praised

    by Edouard Cointreauas the most beautifuland the best of all 8editions, thanks to thequality of the printingby Artron in Beijing, by

    a change in the format,better design and lay-out, including the bestcover and back cover.This book is the nextbest thing to visiting thecollection, the book is a

    treasure, with a limitededition. It is rare, likethe wines in the collec-tion, truly reserved forthose who know and re-spect the best in wine.

    Michel Chasseuil (7.f.l.) with the Committee of theWise outside Restaurant Apicius in Paris.

    here, everything has todo with the spirit.And Franoise Barbin-Lcrevisse is specializedin writing cookbooks topromote Cognac and itslittle brother, the sweetliqueur Pineau, butalso the other typicalproducts from the Cha-

    rentes region, as FoieGras, trufes, chestnut,snail etc. In France sheis known as a kind offood and drink ambas-

    Karen Page and AndrewDornenburg belong to

    the elite of wine andculinary experts in theUSA. Their books wonnumerous prizes, inclu-ding several GourmandAwards. Becoming aChef was praised byJulia Child, who said shekept a copy by her bed.Their new masterpiece

    is The Food LoversGuide to Wine, that wonthe Gourmand Awardas Best Book MatchingFood and Drinks in theWorld.But the book is muchmore than just a guide-book about which winematches best with a

    certain dish. The FoodLovers Guide to Wineis the perfect introduc-tion for people who wantto learn about wine and

    an essential encyclope-dia for every wine and

    food lover.Unlike other experts thecouple does not write ina hyper-sophisticatedtone, but in a naturallanguage and explainswine with easy examp-les as using crayonsfor the different winevarieties. They even

    show the reader how topronounce the differentwines the right way. Ouraim is to make peoplecurious about wine andhelp them to discoverthis universe, saysauthor Karen Page. Butthe whole scene has be-come a bit esoteric. That

    excludes beginners,who fear to embarrassthemselves by askingsilly questions. Our bookis like an invitation to the

    world of wine. It reallyhelps you to become a

    connoisseur.The chapters on howto match food and wineare no silly list of dishesand wines that ts best.

    We want our readersto create the right pai-ring for them, explainsAndrew Dornenburg.And the right pairing for

    them might not be theright pairing for some-one else. The target ofthe authors is to impartknowledge and that thereaders understand theprinciples. They explainthe matching of food andwine with the help of axylophone. Under the

    headline Composing amenu the authors showthat the secret of a goodmenu is like a scale,moving from the high to

    the low tones with everynew course and wine.

    Fish and seafood arehight tones, beef a lowand chicken a moderatetone. Same with thewine from high (Sau-vignon Blanc) to low(Zinfandel).Guide, encyclopedia,lesson, history book,shopping consultant -

    this book includes it all.But Karen Page and An-drew Dornenbourg arenot so full of themselvesto think they are the onlywine experts. They eveninclude a chapter of winebook recommandations.Have you ever seen thisin another wine guide?

    It is nearly impossiblenot to be impressed byAslihan Koruyan Sa-banci: She is Master inBusiness Administration,former Miss Turkey, Eu-ropean Queen of Beautyand Vice-Chairman ofSedes Holding, a biginvestor in aviation, cos-metics, real estate, logi-stics and much more.It seems whatever she

    does, turns out to be-come successful.Because of her foodsensitivity she startedto write a gluten-freecookbook called Glu-ten Free MediterraneanGourmet Cuisine, whichhas been published inTurkish and English.

    It became a bestsellerand was honored withthe Gourmand Awardas Best Nutrition Bookin the World in Paris

    this year. The fullcolo-red book offers morethan 170 recipes on321 pages with beau-tiful photography andan informative scienticintroduction to the issueof food sensitivity writtenby Dr. Muazzez Garipa-gaoglu.I love cooking and Ilove food; says AslihanKoruyan Sabanci. It

    has been a passion tome for all my life. Andit has been a big shockto me, when I found outhow many food allergiesI had.

    Her sensitivity to bread,milk and chees cuttedback her nutrition in a

    way she never dreamed.I could not believe howlittle there was for me toeat, she says.She bought herself

    some gluten-free cook-books and became bo-red of them very soon,because of the use ofunusal ingredients asspelt, tapioca our, eggreplacer, almond our

    and so on. Where andhow would I nd all

    these things? It wastime for me to roll up mysleeves!

    So she started to writeher own gluten-free reci-pes. She cooked the re-cipes she knew, withoutusing our, but with a

    lot of vitamines to stabi-lize the immune systemand antioxidants. Overa period of two yearsshe invented more than

    100 recipes. Recipesthat do not taste as ifthey are diet dishes. Idid not wanted to forcemy family into eating

    the same way I had to,but when my family andclose friends tasted myrecipes, they demandedthat all the food I cookedin our house be glutenfree.That is the secret of thebook Gluten Free Medi-terranean Gourmet Cui-sine: You are not awareof cooking recipes froma diet or nutrition book.

    Only the charts of vita-mines, ber, fat, proteinsand so on remind you ofthe healthy aspect of thebook. But your guestsat your table will neverknow, if you do not tellthem.

    After years of dreamingRosemary and GaryBarletta founded theirLong Point Winery onthe eastern shore of

    Cayuga Lake (USA).The romantic image ofthe winemaker takingcare of his plants inthe morning dust on abeautiful piece of landhas been displaced veryquickly by the harsh re-alities of business plans,vineyard pests and bru-

    tal weather. After yearsof hard work, frustrationand joy the Barlettasare happy to producesixteen varieties of wine

    and won some impor-tant awards, such as thegold medal of the Ame-rican Wine Society for aCabernet Franc.

    It has been a long wayfor them.

    Professor John C.Hartsock from the StateUniversity of New YorkCollege at Cortlandwrote down this fascina-ting story. Seasons ofa Finger Lakes Winery

    offers a close look insidethe rise of artisanalwineries in the USA.On the basis of the fourseasons the author

    unites the story of thebeginnings of the LongPont Winery with thedaily grind in a cycle ofone year.

    I wanted to write a hu-man interest story of acouple trying to becomewinemakers with near-ly no money, John C.Hartsock explains.First, the book is afascinating story ofpeople making their

    dream come true, witha literary concept andstyle that reminds us onThoreaus Walden. Atthe same time, Sea-

    sons of a Finger LakesWinery shows thechallenges of becominga artisanal winery.For his intense and

    private book John C.Hartsock has won theGourmand Award forBest Drinks Writing inthe World in Paris thisyear. I wrote a bookabout a dream thatcame true and by winingthis award a dream ofmine came true.

    explains his cuisine. Andthe bigger the varietyof ingredients the moreprecise he can expresshimself through his

    recipes. Probably thatis why he takes everyopportunity to travelthe world, taste newdishes and flavors. The

    results are signaturerecipes that are abso-lutely unique and thrillthe guests in his threerestaurants in Madrid.Cooking is only one ofMadrigal talents. He isalso a popular discjo-ckey with his own radio-programme, TV host
