Karine Lauverjat Sancerre with Dinner on Tuesday

After buying a pound of flounder, couscous and some vegies for a quickly prepared Tuesday dinner, it dawned on me that one thing missing in the picture was a nice white wine to go with it.

She does not like waste and writes in her introduction: 'There are times...
