Discover Wine Folly the Essential Guide to Wines of Provence

November 26, 2018

Provence is blessed with a fantastic climate, especially for grapes! The region gets lots of sunshine and not too much rain with warm days and cool evenings. The Mediterranean moderates the temperatures and the famous “Mistral” wind keeps the vineyards dry, free of pests and the skies clear. Viticultural Provence is comprised of 9 main …

Heartache of Good-bye to Provence and AOC Ventoux Wines

November 22, 2018

Exploring Why Rosé Matters, According To French Culture

September 4, 2018

I don’t think there is a topic I’ve covered more than rosé. Part preference, part probability, it seems only natural that a Provence wine specialist would document the past, present and future of vin trois, the third colour of the wine trinity.

August 10, 2018

Swirl-sniff-see-sip. And, sigh. There was a lot of that going on last Friday night in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence—it was the opening of the annual Fête du Vin. Fête du Vin – More than Wine The bussed-in tourists had left, leaving lucky locals and overnight visitors all to themselves to spend a leisurely evening wine booth-hopping on Place …
