Are we hosting a Ligue 3 football match? Maybe the title for this free wine tasting should be Remy v. Nicole. But they are friends! Still, I want to stir up some regional rivalries. Or maybe coax out some truths about the character of the neighboring Languedoc appellations that Remy Soulie and Nicole Bojanowski inhabit.

We have a slew of new releases from these two great Mediterranean estates, certified-organic reds, whites, and roses that can be swirled and discussed endlessly, or just purchased and guzzled with your weekend dinner.  Come taste eight great wines (did I mention for free!) and flip through my trip photos, listen to fond reminiscences of cold hours touring the winter landscape of this stark, beautiful land. This Saturday, 1-3pm.
