During the next 52 weeks, I’ll be doing a weekly blog on the wines of France, gradually covering the main wine regions. If you follow the course over 2011 you’ll gradually learn the basics of French wine. The blogs will be short and to the point. The best bit is that I’ll be setting you homework each week – a bottle of wine from the region to buy and try. This way you can gradually catch-up on the Tongham Village Hall wine tastings you may have mixed over the years. The wines will all be available in UK supermarkets or national wine shops such as Majestic so anyone in the UK should be able to do their homework diligently.
So what do we have to look forward to over the next 12 months -
