Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou, Volume 2 : Dégustateurs de combat (French Edition) by Michel Tolmer | Éditions de l'Épure

Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou, Volume 2: Combat Tasters is the long-awaited sequel to the adventures of these three colorful characters, created by Michel Tolmer. This second volume, published by Éditions de l'Épure, continues to take us into the fascinating and often humorous world of wine.

After attempting, without much conviction, a detox, Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou return with more enthusiasm than ever to their first passion: blind tasting. Armed with their glasses and comments often more knowledgeable than they seem, they embark on ever more improbable adventures.

Our three protagonists refine their skills in the complex art of tasting, visit vineyards, meet winegrowers, and explore wine cellars. However, despite their efforts, the results are not always up to their expectations. Some female encounters reveal their own weaknesses, making them understand that even after so much effort, total mastery of the subject still eludes them.

But that's not all, as this book also explores the many pitfalls that await any wine enthusiast: snobbery, ignorance, dogmatism, or lessons learned too approximately. Faced with these challenges, Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou do not shy away from anything, not even bad faith, to save their dignity and avoid falling into ridicule.

Their rivalry, far from weakening them, heightens their combativeness. To prevail, one must know how to strike first, even if it means getting lost in daydreams of glory, where the dream of absolute mastery of the art of tasting mingles with anxious wanderings among giant bottles. One day, perhaps, they will finally manage to casually say, while putting down their glass: "Crozes-Hermitage white 2007, 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne on clay-limestone subsoil..."
