Folks, this is one of the places that truffles come from. Hard to reach, hard to find, instead I suggest the Caviar and Truffle Dinner, Parizade, Durham, Friday December 27, 6:30

And even this is quite uncommon, a unique event, first of its kind, but sure to enchant. Seating is not unlimited …

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: Jayne enjoying a glass of Ibis Blanc 2023 during the aperitif, at Domaine de Ravanès, an estate that few people know, and yet is on numerous star restaurants lists. One of the most remarkable producers in Languedoc and in Contrast Wines portfolio.

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: Marc Benin with Sarah and Jayne during the last visit in the Occitanie Tour, Domaine de Ravanès, an estate that few people know, and yet is on numerous star restaurants lists. One of the most remarkable producers in Languedoc and in Contrast Wines portfolio. Wonderful lunch there of course, these guys have enough exposure to the best tables in France, it rubbed off.

I interrupt the normal Contrast Tours stream as I am in tears after seeing this: 2 brothers (you can vaguely see one arranging these flowers) who own a flower shop just brought this to us Durham citizens, as an attempt to heal us from the sorrows this errant Country has been producing this week.

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: we started the visit at Domaine La Rouviole by a tour of the new chai that Denis Arquie conceived, and then we tasted some of the very recent 2024 harvest off the tanks in which they were finishing there macération.

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: normally we can see the Pyrennées from La Rouviole where we are now, in the Minervois. But we can’t always have sunny weather, after all the south of France can use rain to replenish water reserves.

And La Rouviole will still make the visit very enjoyable, with a special meal!

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: the dessert concluding this lovely meal experience, was around the fig, and beyond perfection. Th best part was probably the reduction of fig leaf, which I have had several times before, but this one was absolutely exquisite. 

We enjoyed this with Chateau Castigno Blanc 2019, a Saint Chinian Blanc blending Roussanne and Grenache Blanc which marries power, gentleness and savors magically. This wine is not here yet, but I sure look forward to the next shipment in the spring.

September/October 2024 Occitanie Wine Tour: a selection of the most exceptional wines of the tour during this dinner, so of course Gil Morrot’s Divem 2021, a rare wine, only available on allocations, and for which Contrast Wines is the sole U.S. Importer.
