An abundance of high-quality wines hail from France’s Loire Valley. These wines are light and refreshing, and are great to use for any type of outdoor entertaining.

Had a lovely bottle of the 2007 Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec which was raging on all cylinders. Le Mont Sec I think is always the most open of the young Huet secs. This had a piercing nose of salt, honeycomb, almonds and wet wool along with a steely element. Lovely purity and completeness on the palate ...

Loire Valley, France. Chenin blanc. 12.5%. Cork. Source: restaurant wine list. I drank some excellent wine last night, but already my memory is failing. An 05 Rockford Rod and Spur (Shiraz / Cabernet blend from the Barossa) was typically Australian and slightly scruffy and grainy. I was seduced by t ...

Enjoyed a great meal with friends and family at Marigold Kitchen last weekend. As I opted not to take detailed wine notes, I thought this would be as good a time as any to respond in kind to some of my peers' demonstrations of anti-verbosity. So here you have it, the first (and very possibly last) i ...

Today’s blog is about the Loire Valley – a part of France I first visited on a camping trip during the middle of a 90 degree heatwave!

Chenin Blanc is a white grape variety that appears to produce wines built to last eternally. While many Chenin Blanc wines are somewhat insipid, at their best they compete with the finest of any varietal. For the most part the best Chenin Blanc wines start young, with a level of acidity that disprov ...

Vouvray is typically 100% Chenin Blanc, though some can contain small amounts of Arbois. They are less popular now than they have been in the, which is a shame because they are quite tasty generally. This one comes from Marechal, which unfortunately I was not able to find any real information on via ...
