My most memorable tidbit of salesmanship is 'drama.' Bordeaux, like in my earlier post, can be whimsical, but in Montreal whim evolves into reality.
"Le Vine en Montreal" or Mont Royal as it's called is operated on SAQ - province operated liquor establishments. I opted for something French.
Just south of Bordeaux are the pay's de land. In other countries these are 'land wines' that aren't as meticulously propagated. I opted for 'Madiran 2010' by producer Boucasse.
The Map shows Madiran in the middle, but we have already ventured towards Spain in the Pyrenees. The wine at hand?
50% Malbec, 30% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Frank.
It was slightly smokey and black, as wines from this area are alleged. My recommendation: go south.
Cool. Thanks for the recommendation
