Starting a new thing : A Photoblog about wine , winetasting , and vineyards in France . Depending on circumstances and visits , it will show an insight on little known wine producers , wine regions , and tasting experiences . There is so much material about the wine industry and artisans in France , that I should'nt be short of subjects ...
Looking for new wines , visiting vineyards in the different regions has always been one of my favorite activities . It allows you , when visiting an area , to know it on an other angle . And when you are in a specific wine region , it's so interesting to stop at a winery , chosen at random or in advance , to taste and discover . People making the wine are always passionate about their wine ; they are all different , as well as the architecture , cellars , immediate landscapes , even within the same area .
Plus , since Benedicte just completed her wine & sommelier courses , she helps me with her connoisseur touch . These pages will be more than a collection of wines . Rather mostly experiences and meeting different people in Paris and in the wine country , with side stories , always with pictures , about , say , corks , bars a vins (wine bars) , wine salons , wine festivities , architecture , technology , whatever ... I don't pretend to cover all the different aspects of the subject . Opportunity and luck will have a large part on the content for "My Wine Journal" . I will focus in priority on lesser known producers , as they are more affordable and make up a large section of the wine production with so many good surprises .
Let me put it straight : I like discovering new wines and this phoblog will be an excuse for engaging in new experiences in this field ...
what a great place to be to know wine
