| Introduction Taste Le Tour Iberian Peninsula Month 4th of July Bubbles Upcoming Events |
|||
| Dear Wine Aficionado, This week there is an offer to follow the Tour de France, a reminder that there are a few places left for the Bastille Eve Dinner, 4th of July bubbles, and an outline of the Iberian peninsula month with our first tasting scheduled for next Tuesday.
Taste Le Tour - Wines for your tour For fans of cycling the Tour de France is perhaps the highlight of the sports calendar. To help you keep pace with the peleton, we have put together some special mixed dozens. Anyone who follows the coverage on SBS will be familiar with the Taste Le tour segment where French chef Gabriel Gate introduces the specialities of the region , and sommelier Christian Maier introduces the wines. This year we have again assembled a selection of wines from each of the areas the Tour passes through, allowing you to give an authentic flavour to your nightly viewing. The first mixed dozen will take you through the first seven days of the tour. (You may need to enlist some help) Wine substitutions have been made from those featured in the program where stock has not been available. However the area and style remains the same Monaco: 2007 Rio-tor Cotes du Provence Rose, Monaco /Brignoles: 2005 Gros Nore Bandol Rouge Marseille/ La Grand Motte: 2006 Citadelle Cotes du Luberon Blanc Montpellier: 2005 Avarus Muscat de Frontignan Le Cap d’Agde/Perpignan: 2007 Prunet Grenache Blanc Languedoc Roussilon Gerone /Barcelona: 2007 Marques de Riscal Rosado Barcelona/Andorra: NV Sanchez Romate ‘Regente’ Palo Cortado Sherry Download order form Iberian Peninsula Month July is Iberian peninsula month at Europa cellars, where we take an in-depth look at the regions and the wines of Spain and Portugal.
