Fact Of The Week

Valued Readers,
First of all, thanks for reading. Second of all, I know our time is valuable, so I am going to try to keep our facts simple from here on out.

That being said, here we go.

In France, the grape/blend is almost never put on the label. Instead, the appellation, or place that the wine is made, is what is shown. You are simply supposed to know what the blend is. For example, Sauternes is a place, not a grape, as is Bordeaux and Burgundy.

If you want to know more about the French appellation system, just come on by and ask us, we'd be happy to help.
