Eating Close to Home: the Locavore and Other Challenges | 30 comments (30 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I have a problem: within a 160 km radius, I can only find Burgundy, Macon, Côtes du Jura and Arbois, Beaujolais, Côteaux du Lyonnais, Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes du Ventoux, Côteaux du Tricastin and some other lesser known wines...

Caol Ila might be hard to come by...

Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium; atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.

Re: Drinking Close to Home (none / 1)

Well, I tried to be honest: Les Baux are 220 km from Lyon. Otherwise, I would have added Chateauneuf du Pape, Côtes du Lubéron, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Cassis and Corbières...
