I am heading down to Australia. To thaw out.
While I am there visiting family and friends, I will do as much wine “research” as possible and will post posts when I can. So, if you want to see through the “parallel mirror” what an Aussie living in France thinks of the Australian wine situation, keep logging on!
Lincoln moved to France ten years ago. He started this blog as he rode his 1966-model Solex motorbike from Chablis to Sablet in May and June 2009. His stories about his 2-wheeled wanderings through the heartland of French terroirism are amplified by snippets about the bizarre and compelling world of wine in France as seen by a wide-eyed Australian. As a journalist with L’Amateur de Bordeaux, he has a professional obligation to taste as much as he can, and this blog covers all of his wine-based travel, whether through the heartland of South France or Hong Kong and Australia. He is planning, as the French would say, to “recidive” soon with other Solex trips: a quick one in autumn to Champagne and one of several weeks next summer along the Loire.
