		<description><![CDATA[“Would you like to pick some salad?,” my maître de stage, Didier Barral, asked me one afternoon late in my wine-making internship required for my French œnology diploma. We had just finished moving the 50-or-so semi-wild cows that he allows to graze in different parcels of his vineyard after the grapes are harvested. This twice-weekly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently became…a Knight. A Knight of the Commanderie of Faugères, that is. Readers of this blog will recognize the name of Faugères, a Languedoc wine appellation just north of Béziers. I’ve already published several articles about Faugères wine and winemakers on The Vine Route blog, having been introduced to this area by a friend [...]]]></description>

If he hadn’t attended a university lecture about winemaking, making him decide to abandon his two years of studying to become a teacher and to switch to an oenology program, he might have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hautes Corbières, smack dab in the middle of the Languedoc and Roussillon regions that political convention have linked together as the Languedoc-Roussillon, is the wild west of French wine country. Incredibly tough terrain, windswept by the tramontane winds that come howling in from the northwest, this unspoiled country is really only good for two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first wrote about the Château des Estanilles in May 2009 when Michel Louison owned the 35-ha domaine. Louison had purchased the property in the mid-1970s, attracted to the Faugères appellation by the wild landscape and the homogeneous, slightly acidic schist that can produce wines of striking freshness, with plenty of fruit and peppery flavors, [...]]]></description>
