stumbled on this episode (again!) after googling “Léon Barral Faugères.”
The 2006 is clearing out and great deals are out there. Based on this tasting, I’m down for some.

When are you guys going to get some more in? I’ll bet the 07s are quite good.

Great stuff. Nice to read some well written posts. A long way between them.

QOTD: Not much besides work. I know, its an exciting life, no? On another note, can I have your “laid back Friday” couch? I looks all comfy.

Never had a Faugeres – now I’ll have to find one!

I am a big fan of Southern France wines. I opened a Vacqueyras last night to have with some aged Gouda.

QOTD – I am late in leaving this comment, but what I did that weekend was meet you at the Boston Wine Expo!

Got to agree with you on S. France. Had a Chateauneuf this weekend that was out of this world. The French are cowards, but they sure can make some serious wine.

Nope, no Faugeres here.

QOTD – Weekend gone, had to put the car in for a service, can think of better ways to spend $500. Got a great deal on a 2005 FMC (Forrester Meinart Chenin), only $24. Also picked up my first Mexican wine (and my first Petit Sirah).

QOTD: I am a week late catching up on episodes, so this could be “What did I do LAST weekend?” (went to Texas to hang out with girlfriend) or this weekend, a week late (doing income taxes).

I really enjoyed this episode with its emphasis on Faugeres. I think you should also consider other AOC’s in the area e.g. Fitou, St Chinian, Corbieres, etc. Or perhaps an episode on the many neraby Muscats, e.g. Rivesaltes, Frontignan or for the absolute best: St Jean de Minervois. Or maybe the cremants/blanquettes in the neighborhood.

BTW, if France crowns you King for your adulation of its wines, can I be Lord of Languedoc?
