Beautiful, Eccentric Organic French Wine tasting with Laurent Bonnois

Laurent Bonnois lives in Bourgueil and is both passionate and knowledgeable about the organic and natural wine making movements there.

You can read about him in Food and Wine and the Press Herald

He has a rare talent for sniffing out very hand made exciting wines made by down to earth farmers that never dreamed of exporting. I've gotten access to some gems and I want to share both them and Laurent with you! $20 gets you into LFK to taste wines with Laurent and Iand of that $5 goes to the local arts group MENSK. Wines tasted will include:

Terres Blanches Sparkling Cabernet Franc 2010 (Natural)

Terres Blanches Still Chenin Blanc 2010 (Natural)

Famille Laurent St Pourcain Blanc 2011 (Organic)

Terres Blanches Still Cabernet Franc 2010 (Natural)

Domaines Chevalerie Galichets vineyard Bourgueil 2009 (Biodynamic)

Fabien Jouves Malbec/Cabernet Franc blend 2011 (Natural)

Domaine Grand Jura Trousseau 2010 (Organic)

These are wines that are so expressive and hand crafted that they are really little pieces of different local cultures stuffed into bottles. They taste like the rocks, dirt, and peculiar local characters that gave birth to them

This will also celebrate the Maine releases of the Terres Blanches Cabernet Francs, the sparkling isn't available any where else in the country.
