No it is not a spelling error, I did not mean to write Pinot, be it Grigio or Noir.
Don't call Pineau des Charentes the poor cousin of Cognac though it is definitely a lesser known quantity.
My 3rd Prize for Menu for Hope 5 is a set of 2 bottles of Pineau des Charentes (one white, one red).
Both are young, aged 3 years.
What is Menu for Hope if you wondered?
It brings bloggers the world over who use their combined power to raise funds for the UN World Food Programme.
Composition for the White Pineau is 1/4 cognac 3/4 wine.
Grape Varieties: Ugni Blanc (which is the predominant grape in Cognac); and Colombard for the wine part.
As for the Red it is 1/4 cognac 3/4 wine.
Grape Varieties: Ugni-blanc; and Merlot for the wine component...
