The last few weeks have been given over to delivering our winter wine course…for ex-pats living in the Vaucluse area. We had a lot of fun, visited some great domaines, tasted some really good wines and Jude excelled herself in the kitchen. Here’s the report of one of our participants Mark Sullivan, from Michigan USA, [...]

With a roast chicken last night a simply gorgeous Cotes du Rhone village – the 2006 Janasse ‘Terre d’Argile”. Janasse, of course, produces top notch Chateauneuf du Pape but alongside these it crafts a range of Cotes du Rhone that punch well above their weight. The Terre d’Argile comprises equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. [...]

One of those slightly surreal evenings last night – playing lotto in aid of Lily’s school in the village of Malaucene. Earlier in the day we were met with bemusement as we tried to buy tickets in advance- confusing lotto with a tombola, how stupid. The proceedings kicked off just after 8pm as the MC [...]

The following is part of a series of short pieces I write for Brighton community newspaper the Westhill Whistler: If you’re new to wine writing and you come across the acronym GSM you’d be forgiven for assuming it was something to avoid in your wine or at least treated with suspicion – in the same category [...]
To Chateauneuf yesterday to meet Daniel Stehelin, vigneron and father to Manon , who as girlfriend to Florent Lancon had been our guest for lunch a few weeks back. The property is a grand chateau just outside of Bedarrides. The place was built in the 18th century as a mansion for the Marquis de Vaucroze. [...]
The highly influential US wine critic was in the region this past autumn to taste the 2007 vintage - his conclusions: this was a stellar vintage, a “vintage of a lifetime”: ”Throughout the southern Rhone, 2007 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in my thirty years working in that region…Nearly every producer has attained [...]
About 10 cms of snow fell and settled around La Madelene this morning. Not as unusual as you might think in this part of the Vaucluse. Looks stunning though makes driving on the country roads around us a perilous activity. Time to hibernate in the warmest room with the biggest open fire - the kitchen [...]
Excursion today around the Luberon villages. The weather overcast and threatening but with the benefit that for the most part we had the roads and tiny village streets to ourselves, a real treat. Gordes is oh so pretty, chi-chi even, relatively bustling - the weekly market doesn’t sell any vegetables at all or anything you [...]
