These are my honest, no-nonsense thoughts about the wines I tasted from the Languedoc’s various sub-regions presented on that day. First, there is my take on the region, based on all the wines I tried … then the wines I liked are scored based on a Good, Better, Best approach (all lists are alphabetized). https://lnkd.in/g6JsyJhr Vins du Languedoc

Can a Master of Wine have a favourite wine? When you have tasted thousands of wines, it is not just about where the wine comes from, it is also about what else it brings to the table. Every wine region has a rich history and time-tested winemaking traditions that it pours into a bottle along with the wine. So, my favourite wines are those that capture the perfection of a wine region and bring value to a wine lover’s money. Some of the best wines I have tasted come from lesser-known vineyards that do complete justice to the vineyards they represent and leave you wanting more. Besides, wine tastes the best when it is had with friends and loved ones, with great food and bonding. If a wine is etched in your mind as a fond memory, then it will be among your favourites and a Master of Wine is no exception. So, the next time you drink wine, don’t just focus on the reputation and prestige of a region. Get to know the vineyard, its story and what motivates it to pursue excellence. And always share an exceptional bottle of wine with those who will cherish it just as you do. What’s your favourite wine?

#Quickknowledgepost We can make a general statement about white wine color, that white wines tend to darken as they age. They may start out darker, but however they start out, they will darken with age. Red wines, on the other hand, lighten with age. Red wines tend to lose color with age. As a third part to that general rule, both red wines and with wines tend to gravitate towards amber, or brown.
