Tagged with "Muscadet"

In the 1980’s when I was working in London selling wine to hotels and restaurants, Muscadet was the Pinot Grigio of its time.

You might have tasted an ‘orange’ wine already or have heard about it but not know exactly what it is. They’re all the rage!

Made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape (the same one used in still Muscadet), this sparkling wine is just brimming with fruity freshness and hints of ripe rhubarb.

17 different grapes grown in the Loire valley. One photo of each one, all grown on the same plot taken on August 30th 2014.

When it comes to entrées (starters) what I’m looking for is something fresh, appetising and light. I want it to wake up my tastebuds and make me look forward to the main course.
