Virginian Pilot Distinction Visits The Winehouse
He wasn’t alone. Later on, we observed a couple having at least half of their breakfast burritos boxed to-go. Clearly they’d faced the same internal wall and knew when to say, “When.” My friend ultimately recruited our help and there was little leftover to bother boxing up. As it turns out, I needn’t have envied my companions’ meals because my Eggs Sardou ($8.95), with its lovely yellow hollandaise crown, was the real star at our table. Though I paused admiringly before breaking the whites of my poached eggs, the dish was more than just a beautiful presentation.

Remember, this is just a quick reference. This topic is deep and you could spend a lifetime emersed and still not know everything there is to know about French wine. But, this should be helpful. I will dig deep into each sub-region in later articles.
French Wine Regions: Alsace The French still wine regions are comprised primarily of six regions; Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire, Provence and the Rhone Valley. These regions are known for particular grape varietals with regional district definitions created and maintained by the A.O.C. or Appellation d’Origine Controlee.
California’s Wine Regions The state of California was first introduced to grape vines in the 18th century by the Spanish, who planted vineyards with each mission they established. The wine was used for religious sacraments as well as for daily life. The vine cuttings used came from Mexico and were the descendant of the “common black grape” (as it was known) brought to the New World by Hernán Cortés in 1520….

Let’s look at a few examples from around the world of wine: This label is a typical French label. with all the information you need to establish the quality level and origins of the wine…
