The harvest is coming to an end. The fullness of summer giving way to the melancholy of the fall. Another season of growth coming to an end. All the vineyards of the Languedoc will soon turn to gold and the landscape will be ablaze with color.

Have you heard about apéro hour? It’s the late afternoon, which gives you a moment to transition from your day into the evening. A nice wine is always appreciated and then light bites to stimulate your appetite but not enough to make you feel full…

On the road tasting new vintages! This evening was at @borielavitarele. So fun. The winemaker is a young woman, named Camille and her partner Ulrich was spinning vinyls and playing some great music. They had fresh oysters harvested earlier in the day, a nice charcuterie plate,

Do we really have to choose who we love more? Fresh local asparagus, Belgian style with butter and warm chopped egg, or L’Hortus Grande Cuvée blanc rich Chardonnay, Viognier blend?
