Mulsum

[Thomas]

Visited a winery today outside of Beaucaire that has a re-introduced winery using the Roman method of production from the 2nd century. I tasted Mulsum (wine, honey, cinnamon, thyme); Turriculae (wine with sea water and something I can't remember); and a wine with quince that was syrupy sweet. The Turriculae is fantastic. It was a recipe of Columella (2nd Century agriculturist). The wine tastes like dry sherry and wouldn't you know it: Columella came from Cadiz!

The winery also produces fine modern reds and rose from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. They are in the states--so I was told. Chateau des Tourelles. I plan to get the wines for is-wine.

I was particularly in heaven romping thorugh their olive groves.
