I am very pleased to have been chosen to be an ambassador for L'Ecole wines. Each month they generously send me two bottles of wine. In return, I taste and pair the wines and then share my thoughts and opinions of the featured wine with my readers. I receive no monetary compensation for my posts and all writings are 100% my own.
This month we met up with the winemaker, Marty Clubb, and opened up two vintages of a Bordeaux Blend that they call Perigee.
I am very pleased to have been chosen to be an ambassador for L'Ecole wines. Each month they generously send me two bottles of wine. One to open and taste with them during a zoom meeting with staff and winemaker. This meeting is where we learn the background of each wine, how it was made, what they were striving for and how well said wine meets their expectations. It is very interesting and I get to spend an hour with like minded bloggers who have become friends over the years.
I get no monetary compensation as an ambassador. I am just supplied with wines, asked to join the zoom meeting when possible and to taste and pair the wines I have been sent. I then share my thought about this wine with my readers. All opinions are 100% my own and reflect only my thoughts and palate.
This month we are tasting and pairing their Frenchtown Red. This is an early harvest red blend of 6 different grapes.....a preview of the wines to come.
Here in the Midwest, when someone says come over for a bbq what they are really saying is come over and we will put meat on the grill, have some side dishes and perhaps eat outside if it is early enough and the mosquitos are not threatening to carry you away.
So when L'Ecole sent me two bottles of their 2018 Syrah and a tech sheet saying that it was the perfect wine for BBQ, that is where my mind went.
