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 much-anticipated 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 a half-hearted attempt at detox, Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou return with more enthusiasm than ever to their primary passion: blind tasting. Armed with their glasses and comments that are often more knowledgeable than they seem, they embark on increasingly improbable adventures.

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

But that’s not all, as this book also explores the many traps that await any wine enthusiast: snobbery, ignorance, dogmatism, or lessons learned too superficially. Facing these challenges, Mimi, Fifi & Glouglou stop at nothing, not even bad faith, to save their dignity and avoid falling into ridicule.

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