Let’s not forget that France pioneered many of the wines that we enjoy today. However, they got greedy and over charged, as well as compromising quality. As regular readers know France is having a rebirth, and delivering high quality at reasonable prices. Usually offering more character than big-selling New World brands. As a recent Vintages tasting I made a note to get some of this trio ““ each a classic Bistro wine.

Thanks so much for recommending Chateau Larroque!
Lately I’ve been really put off any time I taste sweet or overly oaky notes in my reds.
