La Vieille Ferme

So I stopped in over at Sea Glasses' Winey Wednesday (how cute is that) and it reminded me of a wine recommendation that I never posted.

I am not a wine expert by any means... I pick up a wine magazine maybe once every year or two and stop in a local wine bar maybe 3-4 times a year, if that.  I buy wine at the grocery store or Target or World Market and I tend to go with what looks reasonably good at a reasonably good price.  We like what we like and that's enough for us!  

That said, I usually do all the wine shopping (and food shopping, and clothing shopping, and shoe shopping - you get the picture) but one evening I sent Hubby out and he came back with a fabulous (we thought!) bottle on sale for $8.99.  

His method:  stand around in the wine section and try to find someone who looks like they know what they are doing and get what they get.  He felt he had great luck as he heard someone speaking French and loitered around looking nonchalant while they chose their bottle.  Once they did, he zipped over, grabbed the same, and checked out.  Here it is:

La Vieille Ferme Cotes du Ventoux Rouge 2006 - just a nice fruity, medium bodied table wine at a nice price.  And I like the pictures of the chickens.
