I want to move to Languedoc-Roussillon. They have it all - chardonnay, viognier, grenache, merlot, mouverdre, syrah and muscat blanc a petit grains. It is the home of Banyuls and Cremant de Limoux. They have amazing cheese, oysters and Georges Freche, the maverick mayor of Montpelier who wants to change the name of the region to Septimanie. How could you not love it? It's all just so Marcel Pagnol.

Today I also discovered what I had thought to be undiscoverable, a very drinkable chardonnay from the Hamptons - Wolffers 2002 La Ferme Martin. Very nice with chicken curry.
