Episode 61: The Loire: Not just a river in France

Episode 61: The Loire: Not just a river in France

In this episode, we talk about one of our favorite areas for wine in the world: the Loire Valley. If you are looking for exquisite Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, or Muscadet this place has it all. With over 600 miles of wine country along the river for which it is named there is a historied past of grape planting and winemaking. 

Julie pours a classic Chinon (aka Cabernet Franc) from the region and tells you all about their winery. 

We sip along as Allie details how the Loire Valley developed and changed over time and continues to produce quality wines across the centuries. 

Julie finishes the pod with a quintessential description of the Loire from a famed wine distributor. After his description, you will put the Loire on the top of your next wine travel destination. 

Grab a glass of something Loire-inspired and join us! Cheers!
