I wasn't going to keep drinking it, I was just going to use it to cook with. I tried it a little later and it was good.<br/><br/>We will have to try en vrac, one of my French friends sweqrs that you get it early and still have to store it for months before you can drink it. We go to market tomorrow so we'll ask around. Perfect for me would be to get wine mostly finished in a large quantity and bottle it myself.<br/><br/>I have given up on proofreading, I only go back and change obvious oversights and unfortunate errors. I. Understand. The Grand Ordinaire really opened up after 30 minutes. I wasn’t going to keep drinking it, I was just going to use it to cook with. I tried it a little later and it was good.

You can get some good stuff at the supermarket for around €3.00. And the best thing to do, in my opinion, is to go visit the local producers directly and buy from them. <br/><br/>We buy <i>en vrac</i> and bottle it ourselves at home. We're talking less than €2.00 per litre of good quality local wine. We have the added bonus of getting to know our local growers. <br/><br/>And it's fun!

And it’s fun!
