Wine: Hazy View Chenin Blanc 2012

HAVE you ever wondered what it is actually like to own your own vineyard in France?

Well this coming Thursday you can find out as L’Attitude 51 wine bar will host another of their hugely successful “Bringing the Wine Geese Home” evenings as part of The Gathering.

I will be guest-hosting the evening in the company of Philip Grant of Chateau Bellevue le Foret in Fronton near Toulouse and Neasa Corish Miquel of Laurent Miquel wines in the Languedoc. Neasa married into the Miquel family and has been instrumental in driving the company forward in recent years with their wines now available in most supermarkets. Philip Grant has similarly upped the quality and scope of Bellevue la Foret since he bought it a few years back but has gone a more independent route, focusing on fine wine shops and restaurants.
