		<description><![CDATA[I met George Taber, the author of Judgment of Paris, the 2006 wine book that told the story of the seminal 1976 blind tasting in Paris where a panel of top French wine experts choose unknown California wines over some of France’s finest wines, at the 2011 European Wine Bloggers Conference. This tasting shocked the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve lived in France for most of the past 20 years, but I’ve never felt the weight of Cartesian logic as much as I have over the past nine months or so. Cartesianism is a philosophy developed by French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes. His belief that method holds a higher place than practice, and [...]]]></description>

INRA (the French Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) is the largest academic agronomic research center in Europe.

		<description><![CDATA[We’re all products of our life experiences. Good or bad, memorable or quickly forgotten, every experience affects your life in some way.

After enrolling on the agency&#8217;s Secret Wine website, the bloggers received three identical, unlabelled bottles of wine in the mail. I’ve been opening mine at dinnertime over the past week.

The 400-year-old domaine shares the same rocky plateau as Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, but it’s never been a Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé wine. One recent morning the château’s fax machine, to Amoreau’s astonishment, spewed out over [...]]]></description>

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.
