Just not in the same old places. People in America like to caricature the French wine world as fusty and out of touch (and comically scary: farmers spilling Spanish wine all over the highways!). But it's pretty dynamic, especially in the former plonk capitals of the Midi. Yeah, France has amazing wines at great prices. Just not in the same old places.

Strappo: I was pleased that the preponderance of these inexpensive wines was French, just because we have come to think that France is not so strong in that area. I have written before of my general disappointment with this category in California and Australia, though of course delightful exceptions exist. THank you kindly.

Especially the Col des Vents, and the Perrin Rsv Blanc. Those tend to be my "go-to" wines in a pinch. Spam spam spam, spammity spam spam….. ;)

And that Marianne has many a pretty trick up her sleeve. If she wears sleeves.
