Another month approaches, and that means another Wine Blogging Wednesday is coming! For May, the theme is mid-priced wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. The host for the event, Doktor Weingolb, defines mid-priced wines as being in the $15 to $30 range.
For wine newbies and others learning about wine, these sorts of WBW events are excellent opportunities to learn. Need some help identifying a wine from this region? The good Doktor has given us some resources. I believe I have a bottle or two from one of my favorite French producers, Ch St. Martin de la Garrigue (the Bronzinelle is often a good value) in the cellar, but this is a grand excuse to go wine shopping. 
So, join the fun and blog about your findings on Wednesday, May 16, 2007!
Updated to add: You can check out this recent episode of Wine Library TV to learn more about Languedoc-Roussillon.
Updated again to add: I can’t believe I misspelled “Martin” by tacking an “e” onto the end. All better now.

Hi Bill,
St-Martin de la Garrigue is a perennial favourite of Coteaux du Languedoc lovers. I remember the first time I tasted it — I managed to find their top cuvée on sale for the price of the Bronzinelle (that’s added incentive). It was unbelievable value!
As for the magic mid-priced range I set up — there’s a bit of story behind it. I will be posting more about it this week on my site but for now I should say that I can’t take all the credit for defining it.
In any case I hope that most people will discover that you don’t need a special sale to find a good bargain. Happy shopping.
And by the way, it’d be great to a hear podcast on this topic from you.
Cheers,
Marcus
Thanks, Marcus. I’m already working on the podcast about this region–your theme has inspired me to pull all the material together!
