Dans le cadre de JAZZ360 à Cénac, Vendredi 14 et samedi 15 mai 2010, le château Roquebrune et le château du Garde vous accueilleront à partir de 10h pour une dégustation gratuite de leurs vins. Vous pourrez bien sûr vous y rendre directement en voiture ou à vélo mais il existe aussi des chemins de randonnée qu'il vous suffira de suivre pour orchestrer dégustation et promenade. Nous vous indiquons ici le chemin (fléché) passant par ces deux châteaux. Si vous souhaitez vous restaurer, les propriétaires vous proposeront également des assiettes de charcuteries, préparées par nos épiciers du Petit Marché, qui vous assureront de ne pas repartir l'estomac vide !

Welcome to my new video series. "From Vines to Wines: Wine Tasting Made Easy". I created this after I received a ton of feedback from people at my work, saying that they really didn't know how to go about tasting wines or that they were confused about wine culture. Hopefully, this information will take the edge off. In Episode 1: Wine Tasting 101, you get a quick crash course into the world of wine tasting, and some additional basic oenological information. Learn about wine flights, confusing terminology, and how to go about making some selections. Future episodes will go into greater detail on specific topics, but for the first few films, it's the basics. Please leave comments and feedback for me, in case you have some topics you might wish me to cover. And as always, thanks for watching!!!
