2010 Les Vignes de Bila-Haut Cote du Roussillon Village

Without question, Languedoc-Roussillon is the crappiest wine producing region in all of France, possibly the world.

If you love cheap wine like I do, chances are good that you've once picked up something that was produced in this region. Ever seen those $180NT/bottle French vin d'pays on the wine shelves of Carrefour? Yep, those are it. Many years ago, I brought home a bottle. Upon popping the cork, I was rewarded with a bouquet that consisted of vinegar, fresh compost, and 2 days old roadkill. Naturally, I poured the entire bottle down the toilet. The toilet is still giving me hell about it.
