Thanks Lori. You should get a French and a Paso Picpoul and have them side by side to see how they compare.

Thanks Martin. The lavender in the potatoes was good too. I usually include lavender in sweet dishes – blueberry, lavender pancakes – but it was great as a savory flavor too.

I think it is relatively inexpensive too. Don't know about distribution.

Wow! Your green beans and potatoes sound amazing Jade! I'm looking for a green bean recipe. I may have to give it a go! That Picpoul sounds fabulous!

I am definitely going to try that green bean recipe and after reading all the great reviews will be on the lookout for this wine.

Though I chose not to use the Languedoc wines for this article (but instead for an upcoming article) I too made the green beans and potatoes and took a short cut of using chicken breasts w/herbs stuffed under the skin! Great minds as they say…Yours looks like it turned out great and your wines sound lovely. Cheers!

I love your comment of how Picpoul reminded you of a Gewürztraminer whose Momma taught her better. What a great way to think about it. We have never had a Picpoul but a few of the wineries in Paso have actually planted some vineyards, so I am sure it will only be a matter of time. It seems to be an intriguing grape. We did not receive a Picpoul, we received a red blend and a Mourvèdre.

Interesting. Like I said I had not been impressed before. I tasted this and wrote my note mineral, then floral, then flower shop and honey. My husband came in after me, picked up his glass. Husband: Lots of mineral. Me: Just wait. Husband: A little herb Me: Just wait. Husband Oh, wow. Me: Told you. I don't think it is expensive either.
