Each month the French #Winophiles blogging group explores a particular French wine theme.  Sometimes it’s a notable region whose wines we’d like to explore in-depth; other times it’s more about exploring a grape variety vinified throughout the country.   This month we are exploring Grower Champagne.

Our group of food and wine writers will reveal what they’ve discovered about Grower Champagne, share food pairing ideas, travel tales, and tasting notes.

As a teaser, here’s a sample of what each blogger will contribute to the discussion:

• Jeff of FoodWineClick will be “Taking a Saber to Farmer Fizz“
• Camilla of  Culinary Adventures with Camilla says Skip The Butterbombs and Pair Champagne with Alpine Cheeses Instead
• Robin of Crushed Grape Chronicles  will be diving into Farmer Fizz? An exploration of Grower Champagne
• Jane of Always Ravenous will be Pairing Pizza with Grower Champagne
• Nicole of Somm’s Table  will be offering 5 Champagne Toasts
• Payal of Keep the Peas serves up Champagne: Le Vin du Diable 
• Lynn of Savor The Harvest will be sharing Fourth Generation Grower Champagne – Pierre Peters and Bourgeois-Diaz
• Jill of L’Occasion will be taking A Closer Look At Grower Champagne With Champagne André Jacquart
• Gwendolyn  of the Wine Predator is sharing  #Winophiles In Epernay’s Grower Champagne Heaven with author Caroline Henry and winemaker Elodie D
• Here at ENOFYLZ Wine Blog, I’ll be taking a sip of Grower Champagne From The Chalky Slopes Of Avize: Franck Bonville Prestige Brut Blanc de Blancs

Join Our French Winophiles As We Sip Grower Champagne!
We’re a friendly group.  Please consider joining the fun as we sip,  and tweet about Grower Champagne.   Our chat will be over on Twitter at #winophiles from 10-11am CDT on Saturday, August 18th.  

Even if you don’t have a blog,  feel free to grab a glass of Grower Champagne (it’s never too early to drink Champagne, Grower or otherwise is it?)  and join the conversation.  Have you visited the the Champagne region and visited a grower? Do you have a favorite Grower Champagne.  How about a favorite wine and food pairing featuring Grower Champagne?

Next month, on September 15th our theme will be Cahors, hosted byJill Barth of L’Occasion
