There’s a good article in this morning’s Food section of the LA Times, on Cabernet Franc. It would be better, of course, if it linked to the three included wines available through d547 (Chateau Hureau Saumur-Champigny, Chateau Vieux Clos, and the Lang & Reed). But we still think you should read the piece — and then you can come back here and buy a sampling of this fantastic and under-appreciated grape variety. And we’ll give you 10% off your entire order should it include any of these wines. Use code LATimes.

Well, we didn’t participate in this edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday (#44). But we’re sure that despite our absence this will be the biggest turnout yet, no small part due to the designated host this month, Gary Vaynerchuk. You can see Gary’s special WBW episode of WLTV here (like this guy needs any more links to his show…):

However, we’re happy to report that we’ve participated by proxy, as several wine bloggers have reviewed wines from domaine547 in their WBW entries, and you can find some great tasting notes from Dr. Debs, Amy (aka SBWineAdvocate), Penny the Mustang Winemaker, and Tim from Winecast (we’ll try to ignore Tim’s “buy this wine” link that clicks to winezap, where our products aren’t listed but where he must have some sort of affiliate deal). UPDATE! Patrick (aka Oenophilus) from Iridesse Wines has also reviewed a wine from d547. Click here to read his take on the same wine that Penny drank…

Thanks to Lenn for creating this event, thanks to Gary for hosting, and thanks to all who tried wines from d547 for the occasion. Next month, there’s no way we’ll be sitting out.
