Wine is absolutely a matter of "IMHO"! The major wine region we visited on our Canal du Midi trip was the Languedoc (and also Minervois, Corbieres and St. Chinian). They call the Languedoc the "New World" wine region of France -- and not necessarily in a complimentary way. But if you like American, Australian and South American styled wines, the Languedoc is perfect for you. And if you love bright, crisp rose wines, you'll be in heaven here.
