Les Welcome

Whether by intent or tragic mis-typing, you’ve landed on the home of Les Garagistes winery collective. If you’re new to our dark cabal, a rich and heady stew of bad French grammar and subterranean winemaking awaits. But where to start? Here are a few suggestions:

First, you might take a quick stroll through last year’s vintage escapades, accumulated over the two critical months of September 2009 and October 2009 (remember that the posts are presented with the earliest at the bottom of the page).
Then, who are these Garagistes and where do they get off? And didn’t I hear they were dead?
We sully the fine pages of Fine Cooking Magazine
Winehenge: the movie. If that’s not enough to get you to click…
A French oak barrel primer
Red, Rex Sox (Yankees fans, be forewarned)
Plastic capsules and why we switched to paper
Lastly, mourn with the Moody Blues as they appear to lament the end of a Les Garagistes harvest.

Thanks much for stopping by. We’ve got fruit lined up for 2010 — with new varietals ensuring we’ll be making even more up as we go along — so another exciting vintage is just ahead. Hope you can join us for it, and let us know what you think of what we’ve cobbled together.
