Weekly Wine Show is becoming Court of Wine!
Court of Wine
After more than two years away, I (Tony) am coming back to podcasting with my Wine in the News style show. I had intended it to be a spin-out from this podcast (which would also change), but with Betty not wanting to host a podcast currently, I will be renaming Weekly Wine Show to Court of Wine and will host the show here so back episodes can remain available. I hope you enjoy the new format! Cheers!

info_outlineThis week we are talking about the Fitou AOC. Fitou is a small wine appellation in southern France that is a part of the larger Languedoc-Roussillon wine region area.
Wine Recommendations
Maison Carrel Sous la Montagne Fitou 2016 - priced around $25.
- Deep purple color wine with aromas of candied strawberries like red Australian Licorice
- It’s dry with medium plus acidity and tannins and flavors of red fruits, rock, violets and kalamata olives
- Very fruit forward wine that smells sweet
- It’s young, wild and rustic - like a horse that hasn’t been tamed - we would recommend pairing with food or let it age for a few years to mellow it out.
Gérard Bertrand Fitou 2009 - priced around $20.
- Thanks to age this wine has the color of coca-cola like a brown-amber color
- This wine is also very sweet smelling of dried strawberries and raspberries as well as balsamic and walnut
- It’s dry with medium acidity and tannins with flavors of dried figs, molasses, balsamic reduction
- We could smell this wine all day long so intoxicating
- Wines like this makes us want to buy a bunch of wine to age and is definitely worth more than the $20 we paid for this wine
