Caleb, lo...Jody and Caleb, thanks for the comments. Caleb, look forward to reading your blog. Camille,thanks for reminding me at Les Crus du Soleil. I must confess that I've never shopped there--2 possibly silly things put me off. First, the bottle selection is small--artful rather than plentiful? Second, they have an English website--just seemed a bit strange. But as they sell the type of wine I like, I should try to be open-minded.<br />Re the learning, I have a book I quite like called the Wine Bible (American author), not just French but very good at providing some context on regions and appellations. Though the next time I tackle BHV, I'll look out for the map!Shirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435085252955668889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982532358152584513.post-42973244604829509412010-02-06T14:18:19.734+00:002010-02-06T14:18:19.734+00:00Have you been to Les Crus du Soleil?

It's right near there and they focus on wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon, which is one of my favorite regions as the wines tend to be of very good value.<br /><br />I've taken a few wine courses, but a lot of what I know is experiential, and self-taught. When I was just getting started, I bought a wine map of France (5 euros at BHV) and marked the region of the wine I was drinking, each time. Gradually some patterns started to appear... but learning about wine never feels like a chore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982532358152584513.post-83000575655016565692010-02-01T01:28:32.435+00:002010-02-01T01:28:32.435+00:00What a wonderful story and a wonderful lady.
