		<description><![CDATA[Loyal readers of The Vine Route know that I’m a big fan of Corsican wines. Leading Corsican winemakers such as Christian Imbert of Domaine de Torraccia, Antoine Arena of Domaine Arena, and Yves Canarelli of Clos Canarelli have all been featured here. Part of my fascination with Corsica is related to my wife being Corsican, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A former professional water polo player, who looks like a rock star with his earrings, whip-thin body, tattooed arms, and spiky hair, Richard Spurr is the first foreigner to create a vineyard in Corsica. The English-Irish winemaker came to Corsica via the Montpelier area, where he learned about winemaking on the job at several Faugères [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Désert des Agriates is a burnt-to-a-cinder landscape extending westward from the Gulf of St-Florent and the mouth of the Ostriconi River. This 16,000-square-hectare (almost 62-square-mile) area on Corsica’s northern coast is dotted with clumps of cacti and scrub-covered hills. Inhospitable as it appears today, this area was once a veritable breadbasket during the time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Domaine Fiumicicoli is located in the AOC Corse-Sartène. A 13th-Century Genoese bridge, the Pont de Spin’a Cavallu (pictured on the wine label), which spans the Rizzanese river, lies close by to the D69 départemental road that runs in front of the vineyard. If you continue north on this winding, two-lane road you’ll eventually arrive in [...]]]></description>

I was searching for Canarelli and his eponymous vineyard, and not getting anywhere. This was, to put it mildly, extremely frustrating. It had taken at least [...]]]></description>

Those with such ideas need to visit the Le Clos d’Alzeto vineyard on the western coast of Corsica, just north of the island’s capitol city, Ajaccio. Corsica is like someone had grabbed a handful of mountain off of the mainland and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Second Empire in France, under the imperial Bonapartist Napoleon III (1852-1870), saw the country involved in some ill-fated colonizing efforts in Vietnam, Italy and Mexico. The country also had its fingers into Egypt, mostly because of influence gained there by the first Napoleon, where French fortunes were made with the construction of the Suez [...]]]></description>

His life story even reads like a Hollywood film script. For 15 years after World War II he was a French version of Sir Richard Francis Burton (the 19th century explorer, not the actor), living a [...]]]></description>
