This delightful wine is from Siran, right on our doorstep and so easy to drink. A 100% Cinsault. One of the faves this Summer.https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/aop-faugeres-2008.jpgAOP Faugeres 2008BENJAMIN DARNAULT AOP FAUGERES 2008: Now this one is a delicious bottle! It's a syrah that's been aged in barrel for 18 months and relatively young in the bottle so neds a good time being left opened before drinking. Great robust red that matched our duck breasts 'magret de canard' beautifully.https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/aop-st-chinian-2009.jpgAOP St Chinian 2009AOP ST CHINIAN 2009: This has to be one of my favourite reds in the Benji's Naked range. A big red that does well with opening well in advance, but once aired the nose is beautiful, complex and a good body. I really love this area for wine. A good red for meat dishes, but I must say it's always great to try a red you love all on its own first.https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/benjamin-darnault-minervois-la-liviniere-2008-21.jpgBenjamin Darnault Minervois La Liviniere 2008 (2)https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/benjamin-darnault-minervois-la-liviniere-2008-2.jpgBenjamin Darnault Minervois La Liviniere 2008BENJAMIN DARNAULT MINERVOIS LA LIVINERE 2008: This is a relatively comples red that needs to be left opened for a while before drinking. Very much enjoyed by Benji but for me there is an aroma that I can't quite get used to when the wine is still realtively young - this aroma is from the fact that it was carbonically macerated. Not for me, personally (sorry Benji!) but a lot of people enjoy this element.https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/chateau-maris-continuite-de-nature-20091.jpgChateau Maris 'Continuite de Nature' 2009CHATEAU MARIS 'CONTINUITE DE NATURE' 2009: the same qualities as the earlier vintage, maybe a little better!2014-05-12T19:42:10+00:00weekly0.6https://thevigneronswife.com/2013/06/11/cheers-sante-bottoms-up-to-marieke-hardy/https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/marieke-hardy-from-net.jpgmarieke hardy from nethttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/marieke-hardy-book.jpgmarieke hardy bookhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/marieke-hardy-from-net.jpgmarieke hardy from netMarieke Hardy at her book signing for "You'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead", at Mosman Library on Monday 19 September (photo courtesy of the Mosman Library)2013-06-13T15:02:26+00:00monthlyhttps://thevigneronswife.com/2013/06/09/greetings/https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/marche-aux-fleurs-de-la-cite-paris1.jpgMarche aux fleurs de la Cite, Parishttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/sailboat-postcard.jpgsailboat postcardhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/choucroute-alsacienne.jpgChoucroute Alsacienne...love an old recipe postcardhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/frenchie-loveeers.jpgfrenchie loveeershttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/guitar-chick.jpgguitar chickhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/st-eloi.jpgst eloihttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/la-peche-aux-moules.jpgla peche aux moules...not much to be saidhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/rond-point.jpgRond Point'Rond Point'https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/babyface.jpg'Babyface''Babyface'https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/9-juin-goutez-nos-olives.jpg9 juin, goutez nos olivesReading over the cards from this mornng over a coffee, I noticed the date marked was today's2013-06-27T04:46:39+00:00monthlyhttps://thevigneronswife.com/2013/04/22/here-little-piggy/https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hunting-doggies.jpghunting doggiesdawgs in the backhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hamlet-10.jpghamlet 10https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hamlet9.jpghamlet9https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/calam1.jpgcalam1https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/mousse.jpgmoussehttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hameau.jpghameauhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/calam13.jpgcalam13https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/black-puss.jpgblack pusshttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hamlet-2.jpghamlet 2https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/calam5.jpgcalam52013-06-27T13:02:57+00:00monthlyhttps://thevigneronswife.com/2012/07/23/lunch-at-my-in-laws/https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/andouillette-2.jpgandouillette 2mmmn, andouillette2013-10-12T04:43:32+00:00monthlyhttps://thevigneronswife.com/2013/05/06/lost-in-the-charente/https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/fishing.jpgfishinghttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/angeac-sign1.jpgangeac signhttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2cv-charente.jpg2CV charentehttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/gare-de-saintes.jpggare de Sainteshttps://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/lilas-gare1.jpglilas gare1Hallelujah.

I'd bought a bottle of 'riesling' whose lable I'd liked, it was a bit pricier than the others and I felt a bit cheeky buying the wine full-stop (remember I am with a winemaker and so I shouldn't buy wine - he thinks). We LOVED it, but it was inpossible to find again so the memory stayed with me and the pedestal grew higher and higher! I am very happy to say that we got to drink this winery again (for info they are organic and biodynamic) and it was DELICIOUS!! Hard to describe right now, but simply, an impressive white, minerally, generous and fine. But it still seems young so need to ipen well in advance and drink over a long period/ evening. Easy to say, hard to do.https://thevigneronswife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/fairbank.jpgfairbankSUTTON GRANGE “FAIRBANK” VIOGNIER 2008 - We opened this one up when we had a dear Aussie friend over for dinner, who hasn’t been back to Australia for some time… It’s made by a friend of ours, Gilles Lapalus, in Victoria – and Gilles, it was delicious! Open, exotic nose, fruity and generous, but still fine and minerally.
