During a recent trip to sunny Provence with Vins de Provence, I paid a visit to Château Routas in Côteaux Varois, inches away from Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Château Miraval, where I was greeted by affable, baseball cap-wearing Scotsman and friend of Sean Connery, Grahame "Haggie" Haggart. Pairing up with Helena Nicklin, aka The Wine Bird, in the following video we taste the award-winning Wild Boar Rosé 2011 and an unusual Viognier/Chardonnay blend, Coquelicot 2008, the former of which is available from TheDrinkShop.com. Salut!

About Me
- Wine and the City
- I'm a journalist with a passion for wine, food and travel. By day I work for The Drinks Business magazine and by night I attend events in exploration of what London has to offer the urban wine lover. I aim to recount my findings in this blog. I also strive to prove that wine, like art, is subjective. There are no right or wrong answers. Wine is something everyone can savour and enjoy.
