 C'est la vie Fine Wines: So, you're a closet Francophile. Or maybe you've gone public with it. Either way, you love everything French because despite their bad rap in political matters, they know a thing or two about winemaking and cuisine--and you love the way French words roll off your tongue. Words like "bicyclette." The French have done it again with the website RedBicyclette.com, where us boring Americans can partake of French culture. Swipe recipes like Cold Tomato Soup with Herbs de Provence and Countryside-Lavender Crème Brûleé to impress your friends and pair it with the perfect bottle of Red Bicyclette wine, such as the 2003 Red Bicyclette- Chardonnay. A brilliant, pale yellow this pleasant Chardonnay features aromas of tropical fruit and vanilla with hints of flowers and toasted oak for a crisp and vibrant, medium bodied finish and pairs best with grilled fish, shellfish, roast veal, and rotisserie chicken. Red Bicyclette also makes a fine Merlot and Syrah.
Whether a fan of wines or not we urge you to view this fantastic website for pure enjoyment.
