I Love French Wine and Food - a Provence Bandol
If you are in the market for fine French wine and food, why don't you consider the world famous Provence region in southeastern France? Perhaps you will find a bargain wine in this sun-drenched ideal tourist location, which is marred only by the number of tourists. I hope that you'll enjoy yourself on this fact-filled wine education tour of this French candidate for paradise in which we review a local red wine based on the red Mourvedre grape.
Among France's eleven wine-growing regions Provence ranks ninth in acreage if you include the island of Corsica, which most people do in spite of their considerable differences. Provence is synonymous with rose wine, and although its percentage is declining, happily according to many wine lovers. Over 50% of Provence wine is rose, or as some might say, pink. Many of its wines are pink and flabby, but others are not. The region is home to dozens of grape varieties, often not found elsewhere. With an average of three thousand hours of sun a year, it is no surprise that many Provence wines taste baked.
One secret to making fine tasting wine is limiting its production. The Bandol AOC reviewed below and its high-quality neighbors are capped by law at 180 cases per acre (40 hectoliters per hectare). In this area growers could double their production, almost without trying. But any gains in quantity would be lost in quality. Voila. Limiting Corsica's wine output has helped reduce Europe's famous, or rather infamous, wine lake.
While Provence has many great places to visit, let's start by honoring this wine's home town, Bandol, population eight thousand. It's right on the coast, about thirty five miles (fifty five kilometers) southeast of Marseille and has become quite a tourist attraction. Bandol's port has a capacity of fifteen hundred sailing vessels which means many, many yachts. It is quite a center for scuba diving and deep-sea fishing. In high season unless you love crowds you are better off visiting the vineyards right outside town.
For a change of pace head about four miles (six kilometers) north of Bandol to La Cadiere d'Azur, a medieval village of some three thousand perched on a hilltop overlooking the vineyards. Vincent Van Gogh was here. When you see it you'll know why.
Before we reviewing the Bandol wine and imported cheeses that we were lucky enough to purchase at a local wine store and a local Italian food store, here are some suggestions of what to eat with indigenous wines when touring this beautiful region. Start with Caviar d'Aubergines (Egglant Puree). For your second course savor Poisson aux Herbes de Provence (Fish with Provence Herbs). And as dessert indulge yourself with Tarte aux Noix (Walnut and Honey Tart).

Wine Reviewed Domaine Le Galantin Bandol Rouge 2005 14.0% about $20.00
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Description Bandol, the most serious wine of Provence, [is] typically a deep-flavoured, lush red blend dominated by the Mourvedre grape. Tasting Note (Jancis Robinson, Oxford Companion to Wine, 3rd Edition, 2006) This version is mostly Mourvedre with a touch of Grenache for balance. Its lovely collection of aromas include cherry, anise, marzipan, and garrigue. And now for my review.
Before the first meal I sipped some of this wine. It was dark, fruity, powerful, and long. You know that the wine is present. The first meal was delicatessen-made thin strips of beef with sliced vegetables. I added rice and a Thai hot sauce. The wine remained long and strong with dark chocolate. I have the distinct impression that this Bandol could hold up to anything. I am getting an image: people sitting around a campfire devouring raw or scarcely cooked bear meat - I have no idea what bear meat tastes like but I know this Bandol could handle it. This is not a wine for watercress sandwiches - with or without the crusts. I liked the wine with a cocoa strudel. The chocolate of the wine accompanied the "chocolate" of the cake. There was, however, a discordant note that I will discuss shortly.
The second tasting involved broiled beef ribs accompanied by jerk sauce, barbecued red skin potatoes, and commercial grilled eggplant. The wine was thick and mouthfilling, but there was something about its acidity that was not quite right, let's not mince words; it was unpleasant. This also happened with the first meal. It may be hard to believe but swirling the glass vigorously removed this secondary defect. In the present series of reviews covering more than sixty wines this is the first time that I have encountered such a problem.
The final meal consisted of a pan-fried lamb chop that had been marinated in olive oil, garlic, and sliced red onion plus an artichoke, garlic, and tomato salsa and corn on the cob. The wine was full and long brimming with chocolate and to a lesser extent tobacco. The defect is long gone and the wine was excellent. As strong as it was the Bandol accompanied rather than overpowered the subtle meat. Jancis Robinson was right, who am I to doubt her? I tasted garrigue, which are Mediterranean spices.
The first cheese pairing was with a mild-tasting Italian Pecorino Fruilano, which somehow cut across the wine. Frankly I was surprised that such a weak cheese could denature such a strong wine. The Bandol retained its taste when paired with the more flavorful Dutch Edam. I tasted deep chocolate.
Final verdict. This wine is a winner. I must confess that I am somewhat baffled by the problem with the defect. But I am very, very willing to take the chance on it again. Just between you and me, I won't waste it on cheese pairings.

Were the Knicks and Nugges suspensions and fines fair?
Earlier today, Commissioner Stern imposed the following fines and penalties on the participants in Saturday night's Knicks Nuggets brawl at Madison Square Garden:
* The Knicks and Nuggets organizations have each been fined $500,000 each as a result of the altercation.
* Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony has been suspended for 15 games.
* Knicks guard Nate Robinson has been suspended for 10 games.
* Nuggets guard J.R. Smith has been suspended for 10 games.
* Knicks guard Mardy Collins has been suspended for six games.
* Knicks forward Jared Jeffries has been suspended for four games.
* Knicks center Jerome James has been suspended for one game for leaving the bench during an on-court altercation.
* Nuggets forward Nene has been suspended one game for leaving the bench during an on-court altercation.
Was Commissioner Stern right - are these penalties fair?
Or are they too lenient?
Or are they too harsh?
First of all, there is no proof Isaiah Thomas had anything to do with his players acting in an unsportsman like way...they were getting killed because..yea, the knicks suck! They have sucked ever since ewing left...atleast that was about the last time they've gone to the playoffs or been over .500.
As for the fines and suspensions...i think they were fair...as much as they showed the brawl...i think they pretty much got everyone who was involved. I think Jefferies should have gotten more games than he should because after melo sucker punched Collins (and yes it was a sucker punch) Jefferies intended to continue the melee by running at melo with intent to provoke violence, so why did he only get 4 games...yea he didnt throw any punches, but you best believe he was assulting someone by running and having to be dragged off the court by his jersey
Also...according to the tape....nate robinson threw atleast 3 to 4 punches...melo got 15 games for one punch...robinson swung at someone and chased carmelo...he should have also gotten a couple of games for attempting to throw one off the glass to himself for a dunk on a fast break!!
i think everyone should have just got 10 games...u cant give a guy 15 games when others were just at fault...i mean new york has a right to be mad, their team sucks so all they can do is get in fights because their own fans are gonna boo them because they know they suck, i mean they have 10 guards on their team as it is...whats the point!!
lay the law comish...melo hurt me in fantasy this week but then again, iverson is one of the leading candidits for the allstar game and hes not even on a team!!
