The Wine... Is quite a gem from the value-laden Languedoc. It is imported by Kermit Lynch a pioneer in finding, importing, and being a champion of farm made wines from Europe. Here is what he had to say about "Lou Maset" from Sylvain Fadat's estate:
“Since its arrival three weeks ago, this has been a favorite around the house, and it is fun (at least to me) to answer the question, Why? 1. Its pleasures are so accessible. 2. The flavors are quite Mediterranean, and at home we do a lot of Mediterranean-style cooking. 3. It is medium-bodied, yet still seems rich and meaty.”
Stop by on Friday or Saturday for a free taste of this versitile and delicious red, and perhaps you'll be inspired to match it with a home-cooked dinner from your backyard grill. Remember to give the wine a slight and refreshing chill for maximum enjoyment, which is especially important in these wilting summer months.
