Come Taste the Wines of The Languedoc Region With Me While We're All in Quarantine
Home: Welcome
ABOUT
I go by many names pending who you speak to. Some people call me Chris Languedoc, and is in fact my birth name. I took a trip to the historic Languedoc region of France back in October 2019. I visited many places such as Montpellier, Nimes, Sete, and Carcassonne to name a few. I also did several winery tours and had a glass of wine with each of my meals. This all gave me a much deeper appreciation for wine. Since my visit, I have collected many bottles of wine from this region. I will be giving an overall description and review of each bottle I open I intend to make these reviews short and sweet. I will also be giving food recommendations, an overall rating, and where you can find these wines in Alberta. I figured this would be a fun way for me to try out these wines and attempt to give you all a sense of what these wines taste like as we all sit in Quarantine for who knows how much longer. I'm by no means an expert wine reviewer, but I'm sure I'll find a groove as I continue to attempt to write these reviews.
