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.
