\"IMG_9532\"<\/a>From now until November 14th, four of Vancouver\u2019s best wine bars will feature a wide assortment of\u00a0Languedoc<\/a>\u00a0wines by-the-glass:\u00a0Brix<\/a>,\u00a0Siena<\/a>,\u00a0The Wine Bar<\/a>, and\u00a0Seasons In The Park<\/a>.\u00a0While the well-known regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy produce some stellar wines, the value in France is to be found in regions that aren’t necessarily on the radar of all wine lovers. \u00a0Languedoc vineyards produce a wide variety of top quality wines, and they reach our market at prices far below these other regions meaning consumers can sip without empty their bank accounts.<\/p>\n

In Languedoc wines are most always blends made from a number of grape varieties. \u00a0The reds are full body with components such as Syrah, Grenahce, Carignan and Mouvedre; whites are made wit Picpoul and Grenache Blanc, roses are also made from the above listed varieties and you can find sparkling Cremant de Limoux and some sweet wines in Muscat and Maury that are made of Grenache and fortified.<\/p>\n

As a bonus if you visit any one of the 4 wine bars during the promo and you\u2019ll find a ballot to\u00a0win your own wine bar crawl<\/b>\u00a0for two. Or\u00a0Tweet\u00a0@LanguedocWines<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0#LanguedocVan\u00a0<\/b>for other ways to win gift certificates & more.<\/p>\n

We headed out to check out the wine bars during a Languedoc Bar Crawl. \u00a0We were luckily driven to all four locations meaning we could imbibe along the way.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9523\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

First stop – TWB The Wine Bar at Provence Marinaside – 1177 Marinaside Crescent<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The recently opened wine bar provides diners and sippers with the opportunity to sample many wines by the glass. \u00a0For the Languedoc showcase they are pouring the bubble mentioned above, a wine that was actually France’s first sparkling wine (take that Champagne). \u00a0The wine, Sieur d\u2019Arques Premi\u00e8re Bulle from Limoux, is the perfect companion to freshly shucked oysters.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9527\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another Languedoc beauty is the Chateau Peche-Celeyran La Clape 2011 which we paired with a dish of fresh mussels.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9537\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_9539\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Second stop –\u00a0Brix Restaurant\/Wine Bar 1138 Homer Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brix is one of those spots that seems to have been open forever and is often overlooked. \u00a0I’ve had some seriously great wine dinners here and it is more than worth putting back on your radar if it did indeed slip off. \u00a0Here the Domaine Delsol Picpoul de Pinet 2010 can be enjoyed; it is a minerally wine with grapefruit and citrus nots and a crisp finish. \u00a0Red fans can sample the highly sought after Gerard Bertrand Terroir Minervois AOC 2010.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9541\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20131009_195125\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Third stop – Seasons in the Park – Queen Elizabeth Park Cambie and 33rd Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perched atop the hillside overlooking the city this spot is serving the \u00a0Saint Saturnin Le Clocher AOC Languedoc Red 2010 and Paul Mas GSM Coteaux de Languedoc AOC 2011, either whichwould work well with the\u00a0Tuscan Flatbread \u00a0or\u00a0Pizza\u00a0Margherita for an after work bite. \u00a0They were great companions to my ribs and others tried a tuna salad.<\/p>\n

\"20131009_205307\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fourth stop – Siena – 1485 West 12th (at Granville)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This little gem is the perfect spot for a pre-theatre nosh or after the show for something decadent such as the hazelnut chocolate torte which conveniently pairs excellently with the\u00a0Domaine de Babio Minervois AOC Red 2009. \u00a0 You could also go for a bit of bubble with the Antech Cuv\u00e9e Expression Cr\u00e9mant de Limoux AOC.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Languedoc promotion is the perfect excuse to get out and try some well-priced beauties until November 14, 2013 and the next time you are invited to a party you can show up with a bottle of French wine and no one has to know you didn’t spend the paycheck.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
