I've been a bit pre-occupied lately, but you know you can fudge the rules a little bit for me right? ;) Hey Marcus,

Congrats on hosting! I’ve been a bit pre-occupied lately, but you know you can fudge the rules a little bit for me right? ;)

It seems like you came back to the blogosphere just in time for WBW 33 but that Carignan you're reviewing turns out to be Californian (blast!) rather than Languedoc-Roussillon, which is the theme of the WBW I'm hosting this month. It's interesting that Carignan was the most planted varietal in the US. They've been pulling it up all over the South of France recently but I can say that it certainly was/is the most prevalent grape variety in the Midi... Which is why I almost want to include this post in the round-up tomorrow. All the best Jathan, Marcus No time, no read!
