The Leon Stolarski Blog. Tasting notes, opinions, rants, interests and deep, meaningful thoughts of an independent wine merchant. Thursday, 1 May 2014. A new star in the Languedoc - Domaine Saint Sylvestre. Vincent Guizard became involved in viticulture from an early age, working in the vines with his grandfather and, in the late 1990's, he worked with Olivier Jullien at Mas Jullien. From 2003 to 2010, he was part owner, in association with Frédéric Pourtalié, of Domaine de Montcalmès. Défriche de Rouges...

The Leon Stolarski Blog. Tasting notes, opinions, rants, interests and deep, meaningful thoughts of an independent wine merchant. Sunday, 30 March 2014. Terre Inconnue - finally, they are here! Lucien is a charming old man, with a real passion for the wine, not to mention a real zest for life and a wicked sense of humour. Lucien Creus shows me around the vineyards in the summer of 2010. A rather pleasant way to spend a June afternoon in the Languedoc. Incidentally, the gentleman on the right is Olivi...

The Leon Stolarski Blog: August 2014
http://leonstolarski.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
The Leon Stolarski Blog. Tasting notes, opinions, rants, interests and deep, meaningful thoughts of an independent wine merchant. Tuesday, 19 August 2014. What I did with my summer - Plus a brand new book about the wines of Languedoc and Roussillon. OK, so my stated intention earlier in the year to start posting a little more on here has – at least until now – gone badly awry. I am putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of the fabulous summer we have (or do I mean had? Whilst on the subject of books...

I know - like buses, you wait for ages for a blog post from me, then two come along at once! Anyway, as promised in my previous post (of literally minutes ago) here's one I wrote earlier, using my new little smart phone gizmos. 1 Meyer-Näkel 2012 Illusion No 1 Blanc de Noir. A decent, if rather unremarkable, fizz. All sou...

http://leonstolarski.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
The Leon Stolarski Blog. Tasting notes, opinions, rants, interests and deep, meaningful thoughts of an independent wine merchant. Friday, 18 October 2013. A visit to Mas Foulaquier. Most of the wines are aged in vat. With just a small amount of barrel ageing for some cuvées. The vines surrounding Mas Foulaquier. TLD had no trouble taming the Foulaquier "guard" dogs! The start of a very fine tasting and lunch - Pierre Jequier pouring l'Orphée 2011. L'Orphée 2011 Languedoc Pic Saint-Loup. Les Calades 2010 ...

Heads-up for an excellent new Languedoc blog. Wot - 2 blog posts in a day?

The Leon Stolarski Blog. Tasting notes, opinions, rants, interests and deep, meaningful thoughts of an independent wine merchant. Tuesday, 17 December 2013. Another trio of wines from the Loire Valley. I will offer no apologies for the complete lack of posts on this blog over the last couple of months. Frankly, I have been far too busy with other things (both wine and non-wine related) to even think about spending what can amount to a good deal of my time, writing for "pleasure"(! No, because to be hones...
