As #tourdefrance 2022 hits the south we have a rosé sparkler from Limoux. Very refreshing for a hot day. — 4 years ago

Rustic syrah for stage 17 of #tourdefrance as they climb the Pyrenees. A bit of Brett and meaty funk. Not great in our really warm weather. Switched to the stage 18 white ;) — 8 years ago

Stage 13, #tourdefrance hits the Rhône where we try a deep, inky syrah from Cornas. Looks hot out there, stay safe. This one with a bit of Brett, iodine, and blood. Settled out with deep fruit and smoked meats. — 8 years ago

Stage 10 #tourdefrance enters the Alps. Time for some Apremont to celebrate the climbers. Funky white white for sure. Acidic green apple with a butterscotch finish. Tasty but confusing. — 8 years ago

Stage 10 #tourdefrance 2019 into beautiful Albi. It was hot so we had this white Languedoc. Roseanne, Marsanne, and Bourboulenc. Ripe and rich with a bit of funky herbal notes that take you away from th Rhone. Enjoyable but odd. — 7 years ago

Deep in the mountains for stage 18 of #tourdefrance. Big blend of chardonnay, Roussanne, Grenache blanc, and more. Fruit driven, ripe, and long finish. Surprised me. Could have been a CA Rhône blend with the ripeness. — 8 years ago

We enter the #tourdefrance Pyranees in stage 16 with a really nice Maury Sec. Grenache, Carignan, Syrah. Deep fruit with long smooth finish. Had at sunset while watching the final 10k. — 8 years ago

Something new for stage 12 #tourdefrance to celebrate the grand climb of Alpe d'Huez. Off dry sparkler. Pleasant flavor and good mousse but prefer dry bubbles myself. — 8 years ago

Finished the big mountains with an epic stage for 19 of #tourdefrance starting down in the Languedoc and climbing. This was really nice white wine. Again, a lot of body, but this more balanced than yesterday. Good long finish with honey, white peach, raisin. Nice wine. — 8 years ago

For stage 15 of #TourdeFrance into Carcassone, we played the Castle while watching the show. Bright cherry on this Languedoc. But flavors a bit muddled. Nothing to really stand out. — 8 years ago
