David Cobbold's more than just wine

David with this year's catalogue for the Salon des Vins de Loire

David, who has lived in France since 1973, started his 'more than just wine' blog on the 6th October last year with a post on the delights of the Café de la Promenade in Bourgueil. I have been meaning to go but David's enthusiastic profile has convinced me that a visit there is imperative and soon!

David won the second prize at this year's Loire Wine Bloggers' Trophy with a post on visiting Nantes. His most recent post takes a sceptical look at 'natural' wines. If you like informed, trenchant opinions then 'more than just wine' is a blog for you.
