Wines of Alsace and the Loire Valley Reflect the Energy of France’s Cool-Climate Heart
There are many wines from regions in France other than Bordeaux and Bourgogne, but you know that, of course. That said, I continue to explore the luscious offerings from the Rhone Valley, Provence, Roussillon, Languedoc, Southwest France, Savoie, Jura, and of course Champagne. Just recently, I was sent wines (as samples) from both Alsace and […] READ MORE The post Wines of Alsace and the Loire Valley Reflect the Energy of France’s Cool-Climate Heart appeared first on Grape Experiences .
