The Languedoc is a large wine region in southwestern France, which produces huge quantities of wine not known for it's quality. It is easily found in grocery stores here, and we decided to do a bit of exploring in the region, especially because the price can't be beat.
Tasting Note: 2007 Le Marin Picpoul de Pinet Coteaux du Languedoc
Light yellow/straw with green tinge. Fresh, fruity nose reminiscent of old world Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Lemony, honeydew melon, key lime pie, and clean. Soft and light in body with citrusy acidity. Yummy stuff, especially at 3 euros.

Tasting Note: 2006 Domaine Des Lambrusques Pic Saint-Loop Coteaux du Languedoc
Syrah and Grenache. Perfumed nose, not super fruity. Medium body, slightly astringent, lightly drying. Great table wine, fantastic for the price (3 euros).

Tasting Note: NV Domaine Rosier Blanquette de Limoux Brut
Funky funky funk nose. Major musk, and a sulfuric essence, maybe salt lick. Full, mouth encompassing mousse, a little rough, no finesse. Spiced apple and cider on the palate, medium acid. Excellent aperitif, again great for the price (5 euros).
