| Summary | "In the Vine Country" by E. Œ. Somerville and Martin Ross is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the amusing misadventures of two young women as they journey to the wine-producing region of the Médoc in France to partake in the vintage whilst dealing with the trials of travel and their limited knowledge of wine cultivation. Central to the narrative are the two cousins, whose contrasting personalities and humorous interactions not only drive the plot but also offer insights into the local culture and wine-making traditions. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a day in the life of the characters as they embark on their exploration of cub-hunting and the subsequent upheaval that leads them to the vineyards. Initially, they deal with the chaos brought on by their mischievous St. Bernard puppy, Betty, which sets a lighthearted tone. The plot thickens with a letter that abruptly alters their plans, compelling them to navigate through travel mishaps and cultural observations as they arrive in the vineyard region. With rich descriptions and a witty narrative style, the beginning sets the stage for an exploration of both the beauty of the Médoc and the shenanigans that ensue as they engage with the locals and their customs.
