Sharon Bowman writes about wine at SharonWine.Blogspot.com. She was not previously familiar with Cahors or Malbec, and we were interested in her thoughts on the tasting.

We spoke with her at the recent Malbec de Cahor tasting at Le Taste monde Restaurant in Paris. Just after tasting several Cahors wines, and just before lunch, we asked her for her impressions of the wines and a guess about what would be on the menu for lunch.

Our wines welcomed in Argentina

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 14:41:40 +0100

For a week, Argentina received the most prestigous representatives of the Malbec of Cahors. They visited some bodegas, some of them belonging to French winemakers, such as Philippe Rolet and Hervé Joyau.

Interesting exchanges on winemaking techniques took place between French and Argentinian winemakers. Almost everybody agreed on the interest for Malbec producers to share ideas on this unsual varietal.

The media, press and TV, were very interested by the event. A partnership agreement was signed between the city of Lujan de Cuyo and Cahors.
