WBW #33 Announced: Mid Priced Wines from the Midi

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The next Wine Blogging Wednesday has been announced and is hosted by the good Doktor Weingolb. Posting date is the third Wednesday in May, May 16.

If you’re new to WBW, the concept is simple. Just buy a wine that
fits the theme and write a review. You don’t even need a blog! If you
have a blog, comment on the yet-to-be-created WBW review post on his blog on May 16.
If you don’t, comment with your whole review. You don’t need to sign
up or reserve a spot or anything fancy. (Thanks for the clarification Marcus!)

This month Doktor Weingolb is asking us to find a wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, often called the Midi. The catch: The wine must be a mid-priced value wine, between $15 and $30. These are often considered the gems of the Midi.

Don’t worry if French wines seem a little intimidating. The Doktor has listed a great selection of appellations and producers here. If it still seems a little scary, that’s okay. Just tell your favorite employee at your local wine shop that you’re looking for a mid-priced wine from the Midi region of France. They’ll help you find a great deal.

Cheers!

Michelle,
You’ve got the idea. Find those gems! Asking your wine shop for an AOC Languedoc-Roussillon wine is a solid notion. I didn’t mention that.
I think I confused people a bit with the enter a comment step to WBW 33. The comment field will be attached to the yet-to-be-created WBW review post on my site, not the WBW announcement post. (I wanted to separate the reviews and the URLs to reviews from all the other questions and comments I’ve been getting on the current post which announces WBW 33.)
Does that make sense at all?
Cheers,
Marcus
