Les Deux Rives
Translation in English, The two banks.
What does it really mean to me?
It means a cheap and delicious French red wine!
How delicious? I liked it so much, I went back and bought several bottles. Even used one as the base for a fabulous Boeuf Bourguignon. Recipe to follow shortly.
This wine is a Corbières Rouge. A blend of Granache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignan. It is best served cool, not chilled, and is very fruit forward.
Here is the description on the label:
" The vast vineyard of Corbières stretches along the beautiful Mediterranean coast of France from the ancient Roman capitol of Narbonne in the north through the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains in the south. It is one of the last great French vineyards to be discovered for the quality of its wine. The wine is rich, full and packed with ripe berry flavors."
I couldn't have said it better myself.
This is one of those NOT to be missed. It is a steal under ten bucks, but at less than seven, it is pure highway robbery!
Salut! Cheers! Cin-cin!

I agree that online shopping can be of great benefit – not just Amazon, but so many online sites, including etsy. Etsy has handmade products – many of them created by our fellow bloggers – that are beautiful and reasonably-priced. xo
