Alive I just back from a long trip through the Loire followed by a week retreat in the Crays of Poil Rouge to read the totality of Philippe Rapiteau's excellent French wine blog: La Pipette aux quatre vins This is some great stuff. M. Rapiteau writes journalistically about wine, vignerons and events in an informative and catchy style. He's more concerned with you learning about the terroirs and winemakers than simply throwing out reductive tasting notes. Don't miss this blog!
Certainly a reason polish up my French (like learn for the first time). The photographs are excellent. Particularly the cross sections of the soil conditions are quite telling and there is nothing so sexy than those old vines.
Mon Dieu! This is nothing more than a case of unabashed self-promotion. This guy links to you!
Those reductive tasting notes really stink!
