Getting Started With Wine

[wdonovan]

Hmmmm. What would I do if I was stuck living halway between Bordeaux and the Languedoc? Let's see.... I'd probably try every red in the Languedoc (during the week of course). At about noon Friday, I'd switch over to Bordeaux and sip these all weekend. I would opt for Blanquette de Limoux for a bubbly (I believe it's made somewhere between Toulouse and Limoges). I would however have some Champagne flown in if I wasn't able to do the 1200km jaunt on a regular basis. If I drank something that didn't agree with me, I'd drive to Lourdes and get cured! I'm not familiar with the wines of the Basque but you can bet I'd give them a try also. It must be wonderful being so far from California. Only good wine to drink <LOL>
