Sud de France-Languedoc Wine Tasting, New York City

June 8th, 2010 by admin

This was a gathering of wineries from the south of France, in particular the regions of Languedoc-Roussillon. It was held at the Maison de la Region Languedoc-Roussillon. The most common grapes were Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah, Mourvèdre (Monastrell in Spain), and Grenache (Garnacha in Spain). There were international grape varietals represented as well like, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Some nice Cremant (sparkling) wines as well. The photographer was flirting with me!
