As you can see from these pictures we finally finished pruning everything this weekend. We had just the mourvèdre left, which we always leave until the end. My brother-in-law Billy was here again, and lucky him, he got to finish...
Last week was a very busy one, but lots of fun. It was the 5 edition of Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône, an amazing event sponsored by InterRhône, which is sort of the governing body that oversees all of the...
For the past 10 days now Matt and I have been pruning every single day, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, every day. We get up have breakfast, read the paper online, pack a lunch and then head out the prune, prune, prune!...
The finalists for the American Wine Blog Awards have been announced over at Fermentation, and sadly I wasn't among them this year! BUT, what is exciting is that there are lots of new names out there. Except for Tablas Creek...
I've deleted the slide show from my last post, I tried to get rid of that awful music, and didn't succeed. I turned it off on my computer and then forgot about it when I saved my post! The other...

As I said, the second seminar I attended was just one week later at La Ferme Saint Martin , a winery in Suzette, which is in the heart of the Beaumes de Venise appellation. Guy Jullien, who has now been...
Completely by chance, I was invited to participate in 2 different bio-dynamic seminars, held about a week apart. The first one was held at Mas de Libian in St Marcel d'Ardeche, about 40 minutes north of here, and animated by...
Quite frankly I find this very hard to swallow, 5 years already?? I feel like it was just yesterday that we were down in Calce with Gérard Gauby learning how to prune our gobelet shaped vines. I started counting the...
As you well know, I took a break from blogging over the holidays, and it was in truth, very nice. We had lots of family here, some wonderful dinners and drank lots of great wine! No surprise there huh?Here are...
