Well folks, it looks like I’m not going to be able to drink a New York wine for WBW #33, hosted this time around by Doktor Weinolb. The theme is wines from the southern French region of Languedoc-Roussillon (which is often referred to as the Midi).
It’s not that simple though. Marcus wants to highlight the mid-priced wines of the region, so your wine of choice should be between $15 and $30 bucks.
This is a region that I haven’t explored much at all. But, I’ll certainly enjoy seeing what I can find in local shops. Something tells me that I’m going to have to make a trip out to Stew Leonard’s to find something of note.
There are so many delightful wines to taste from this large wine region. It is too bad that the region’s militant winemaker group, Comité d’Action Viticole (CAV) is at it again with their violent attacks on personal property. Can’t do much for the image of wines from this region.
Dunno what sort of a range you can find round your way but this is simply my favourite wine area in the world! We have a superb choice in the UK…
