27 Oct
October is probably my favorite month of the year. The weather, the colors, the smell of Autumn. And this my favorite week of October. The week leading up to Halloween!
So I took a break from the Languedoc-Roussillon for this week and made this fun little three minute video about my thoughts on wine and Halloween (couldn’t get the walls to bleed though…sigh…I’ll work on that for next year)
What to bring to a rockin Halloween gala?
Let’s see:

If you are just joining us we are traveling the Mediterranean along the southern coast of France. We are exploring a place called the Languedoc-Roussillon.
In Languedoc-Roussillon PART I: A Crash Course History I gave a general history and flavor of the place. It’s importance in the France wine culture, it’s struggle and triumph etc.
In Lannguedoc-Roussillon PART II: Coteaux Du Languedoc I tackled the largest appellation in the world hoping to shed some light on it’s many pockets of awesomenes such as Pic St. Loup and that wonderous little lagoon appellation Picpoul Du Pinet.
In Languedoc-Roussillon Part III: St. Chinian & Faugeres we headed North of Pinet and explored two of my faves in this massive wine region. Faugeres and St. Chinian.
And we are here at Languedoc-Rousillon Part IV: Minervois, Corbieres & Fitou where we round up the awesomeness of Languedoc and ready ourselves for the unique identity of Roussillon. I hope you enjoy!

I had the honor and the pleasure of hanging out with Sadat X, Will Tells and Shine On a couple weeks ago. We started at In Vino and finished up at Alphabet City Wine Co. This is some the most fun I have ever had as a wine geek!
If you haven’t checked out their series it is soooo worth a look (True Wine Connoisseurs). These guys love wine and are doing it right. I love the philosophy: Let’s all just enjoy!

I have been honored to be a part of movement called Sud De France which promotes and celebrates the wines of Southern France. I have always loved these wines and figured I would put that passion on video. Here is the first installment of the Langudoc-Roussillon series. It is a crash-course history of the region. I will continue next week with specifics on the various appellations and microclimates of the area. ENJOY!
