Have you ever tasted a Languedoc gewestraminer? New French episode where we do just that. http://bit.ly/6mkWrW
Can a wine have love handles? Coteaux du Languedoc can taste like fruit baskets, love handles & yin yangs. http://bit.ly/Lascaux-winemaker
I love that the French can just say fuck on TV and radio without any censorship. Cause it’s not cursing in French!
I can’t wait for the new CellarTracker design. http://bit.ly/7lohk0 has got me really excited. I have to update my Languedoc tasting notes.
Tasting Les Nobles Pierres 04 and 05 with the winemaker in French. A great Pic Saint-Loup from Château Lascaux. http://bit.ly/8Zl1Li
FINALLY subtitled my video of Aime Guibert at Mas de Daumas Gassac. I/He use(s) the F word a lot. http://bit.ly/aime-guibert-daumas-gassac
I’m not the only one interviewing Languedoc-Roussillon winemakers! http://bit.ly/5lwRcr
I should probably hit these wines up too.

Blind Christmas Wine Tasting. Santa put a couple Languedoc bottles in my stockings this year. http://bit.ly/8xIjdQ
Chance for Brits to win a Languedoc gift basket. Looks like registration is required though. http://bit.ly/6Cj1fa
I finally edited down my guided visit of Daumas Gassac with Aimé Guibert. Still need to subtitle. http://bit.ly/68sJgh

Uploaded a very low key episode with dad. We’re sleepy, but enjoy a couple white wines http://bit.ly/5H2L9y
Nice to see @peterwoodcock at Flickr Fest. Flickr Fest sort of turned into quiet getogether fest, but it was nice to see friends. :)
GREAT shoutout from @garyvee who hypes the value, fruit and pepper on Languedoc wines. http://bit.ly/6buRaC Gary knows what is up!
Holy spitbucket! I’m featured by @thisfrenchlife ! http://www.thisfrenchlife.com/thisfrenchlife/2009/12/web-boost-languedoc-wine.html
My private visit to Daumas Gassac with the owner: http://bit.ly/8R3XsM
Unedited footage I might call “Mr. Guibert’s Wild Ride.”
A Pays d’Oc wine higher in antioxidants with a label that looks like an old encyclopedia diagram. http://www.seriousaboutwine.co.za/?p=2924
Daumas Gassac was really surreal. We drove through all the vines with Aimé Guibert and he is like Indiana Jones for wine. Will post it soon.
English episode with Virgile Joly is up. Thanks @peterwoodcock for telling me to visit. Virgile is a great guy. http://bit.ly/5TBYpP
What is it with bureaucrats who send empty emails with word documents attached instead of just putting the text in the body of the email?!
Found a nice Canadian article about the bounties of Languedoc wine. http://winecouver.wordpress.com/2009/12/17/say-oc-to-languedoc/
Crap! @garyvee was tasting in Paris yesterday?! At least he tasted a Languedoc. http://vinsurvin-blog.com/?p=4486 Can’t wait for this ep.
RT @gregmroberts: Languedoc-Rousillon the largest organic wine production region in France, conversion to organic growing at rate of 35% …
Thanks, @louloufrance I’m sure it will be a blast. The Guibert family is a seminal force for the great future of Languedoc Wine.
It’s confirmed!! I meet Aimé Guibert tomorrow at Mas de Daumas Gassac. WOW. And he’s inviting you to join us online at Love that Languedoc.
Yeesh, it also looks like I’ll be visiting Virgile Joly’s eponymous vineyards! And maybe also La Sauvageonne. 2 Heroes of the Larzac. COOL.
RT @LaPeira: Neal Martin (Wine Advocate)&The Wine Gangs Notes on @suddefrance ‘30 Great Wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon’ tasting htt …
“Lie to Me” this week had tractors, crazy farmers AND @feliciaday !! It’s like they’re writing episodes just for me now.
Another organic grower tastes 2 AOCs with us: Minervois and Cabardes. IN FRENCH. http://bit.ly/887Hvr
It’s snowing in the Languedoc! We’re comfy by the wood stove though. I’m really happy with the way Autumn went.
Found a great social club out by Capestang. Goood people. Gooood wine. If you want their contact, email me.
New episode of Love that Languedoc where we visit Chateau Brau. Will it be True Brau-mance? http://bit.ly/5P13az
Staring jealously at a pic of @actuallyNPH and Christina Hendricks. I wonder if he’d smuggle some of my Languedoc wine into her next party.
Recall my crazy sheep cheese that tasted the way a petting zoo smells? I aged it and ate it again. WAY DIFFERENT. http://bit.ly/7dlwDE
Implication that Tour d’Argent sold 1 Million Euro of wine because the sommelier bought too much Languedoc? #Bullshit http://bit.ly/5NljNw
I’m simultaneously creeped out by and totally in love with the fact that facebook is suddenly google-searchable.
Had to cut Languedoc, je t’aime short when the winemaker’s daughter hurt herself at school. No worries, everybody is healthy!
Normally this cooking video would be a bonus episode, but I uploaded it as ep. 9 to make up for the booboo at Brau. http://bit.ly/6uTJJb
I might be hanging out with Aime Guibert from Mas Daumas Gassac next week! And I’ve got an organic local episode coming up soon too.
The 2010 Cheese Maiden calendar is out… not a joke.. sort of turned on.. mostly hungry… http://www.journeenationaledufromage.com/
yeesh, Saints. Could you make it a little closer? Got home safe. Can’t wait to start filming again this week.
The weekend doesn’t last long enough! ROAD TRIP HOME TIME.
Loving my weekend in Provence. The nouveau olive oils are aggressive and wonderful. Much easier to enjoy than young wine.
I stopped at La Peira on my drive across the Languedoc. Très cool. The French episode is posted. http://bit.ly/5UE4SH
12seconds - Starling migration at the vineyard http://tiny12.tv/REAJI
Top Chef’s Napa Valley locavore competition makes me want to eat a second dinner. OMG, I’m so glad my favorite 4 chefs made it to finals.
The family tastes 2 red wines including one uber-rare hybrid varietal called Marselan. Cross b/w Cab and Grenache. http://bit.ly/6LkhII
Holy crap. It’s 2 AM and I have to be at a wine tasting in 6 hours. Time to nap I guess.
