Magical Roussillon

Plum Market @ 1233 N Wells St, Chicago, IL

One of these days, France will give Roussillon the recognition it deserves, and elevate it from its current status as an appendage to Languedoc.

Here we will find the most famous regions, Barbaresco and Barolo, and lesser-known areas which also produce compelling examples, such as Gattinara and Valtellina. Some great...
