Happy #winewednesday everyone! Just in time for dinner, the latest wine suggestion is here. Have you ever had Picpoul or Piquepoul before? What are your thoughts on this region and wine? Would you try it? Share here!
Fascinating, Sir! 👍
Curious, does the American grown version of this wine have a similar taste?
"PromoSM" 👌
Thanks. This is the first video I've seen of yours. Well…with a delivery like you have, I've had to subscribe of course. I enjoyed this
The Total Wine & More near me (Long Beach, CA) almost always has a Picpoul in stock. It's one of my favorites to drink during the warmer months. Great with seafood.
I love Picpoul de Pinet. It's my house white. Don't see how it compares to Pinot Grigio, would have thought Muscadet. I've grown fond of Florensac's version
I just found it from Hecht and Bannier. Sold at Natural Grocers in Boulder. Delicious and Organic!
Maybe as you say, you're used big, bold, heavy whites… This is a light easy-drinking wine, the french have many, I recommend you try Sancerre, Pouilly Fume from Loire region.
