Paul Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Massimo,Yep another Italian, from the south just 60km inland from Napoli. I am looking at buying wine from Italy also, from our local cantina www.laguardiense.it some outstanding wines. But would also like to have some French wines.Regards PaoloPs Those pizzas look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plod Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Heavens! There are about 140 vineyards in the Gaillac Appellation area alone most of which supply decent wine. Perhaps you need to consider if there is a particular area in which you are interested - Rhône, Bordeaux, Loire etc and then narrow down your search. Bordeaux alone produces more wine than the whole of Australia so you certainly won't lack for choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Although Italy produces more wine and Spain has more hectares under vine - France is still the epi-centre of the worlds wine trade. Buy yourself the hachette guide de vins 2007 edition - they list about 10,000 recommended wines, most of which can be tasted and bought direct from the producer/chateau. (all contact details, opening hours etc are in the book)Happy tasting (get someone else to drive of course!) and bottoms up!Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I am lucky enough to live in the biggest vinyard in the World. Try some of the Minervois or Carbardies wines. They are the deepest reds and tastes you could ever wish for. So full of the sun and the Carbardies are a combination of the Alantic and the Medetrainian grapes. Wondeful. Why go to Italy when you can be so spoiled here. Corbiers, Fitoe, La Clap, oh so much good wine, so little time!! Sorry about the spelling, but I got a bit carried away!!

Ian Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Had a fab meal and tasting session at chateau pennautier the other day - do you know it John? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Haven't been there for a couple of weeks now Ian. Smashing place with good food and the wine in the restaurant at the same price as the shop too.Lots of people go for a meal and leave with a 6 pack or 2. Bottles not cans [:-))]...Is it close for you or were you visiting the area? If it's close I have a couple of other places that may be of interest...

Ian Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I live about 35 minutes away from chateau pennautier (little village called Durfort, near Revel - putting me in striking distance of Gaillac, Fronton and the Cabardes/minervois/corbieres). I agree with your comments regarding the restaurant - good value!Maybe a private email to me would avoid boring the other readers!many thanks,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
