French Kiss - Getting Fresh with France (a guest post by Ellis Holiday)

The Languedoc-Roussillon is probably not the first place that pops into your mind when you are trying to decide on a bottle of wine. It may be the last place on Earth you would think of unless you are lucky enough to have a few fond memories of travel in the south of France. In which case you are one of the lucky few who know how unique and delicious these wines can be.
Languedoc grouped with it’s neighboring Roussillon makes it one of the largest and most productive wine producing regions in France and also the world. This region represents villages with a history of wine making that stretches as far back as the Greeks who planted vineyards here in the fifth century BC.  Among the most notable AC’s are, Costieres De Nimes, Coteaux Du Languedoc, St. Chinian and Faugeres. 

Why have you not heard more about the wines produced in this beautiful Mediterranean climate?
