Terroir is a word that links foods, wines, and more to the places they're from and the people who make them. Let culinary journalist Emily Monaco and chef and wine expert Caroline Conner take you through the ins and outs of France's phenomenal regional richness.

    Paris Is a Feast – And the Home of a Mushroom, a Ham, and France's Most Famous Soup

    If Ernest Hemingway described Paris as a feast, it's no surprise. While as an urban center, it could seem as though Paris' terroir is defined by the surrounding countryside, Emily and Caroline are here to show you that's not the whole truth. Delve into underground caverns where button mushrooms grow, and explore the now-defunct marketplace that Emile Zola characterized as the city's belly. It's irreverent and delicious – time to dig in!

    Brittany boasts some of France's most beautiful coastline, so it's no surprise that it's home to some phenomenal seafood.

    Burgundy’s Dukes Paved the Way for the Kings of Wines and Cheeses

    Burgundy may be known for its wine (and wine sauces) but it's also beloved for other flavors including garlic and parsley butter (aka the sauce adorning snails and frogs!), mustard, and some truly funky cheeses. Tune in to find out why Dijon mustard is a misnomer and which cheese Brillat-Savarin thought was the king of all French fromage.

    Why Is Burgundy the Fanciest Wine in the World?

    Some bottles of Burgundy cost tens of thousands of euros – a contributing factor to one of the most high-profile wine heists in history. Caroline is sharing that tale, while Emily clues listeners into the misnomers behind some of Burgundy's purportedly most famous dishes. (And fangirls over Napoleon. Again.)

    France's Auvergne is Home to 80 Volcanoes, 5 AOP Cheeses, and So Much More

    The Auvergne isn't the most-visited area of France, but it really should be: Home not only to the Michelin guide and to 80 dormant volcanoes, the Auvergne boasts a rich, little-known wine tradition, some of the country's most delicious cheeses, and perhaps the only lentil protected by law.
