Arising from a serendipitous meeting over a glass of Pierre-Jacques Druet's Bourgueil Rosé at lunch in the press room at the Salon des Vins de Loire on Tuesday, five of us decided to launch a bi-lingual, cooperative blog: Les 5 du Vin
The five are:
Jacques Berthomeau
Jacques also has his own blog, which he started in 2005. He won the Loire section in the 2010 Wine Bloggers Trophy

Michel Smith

Marc Vanhellemont
Marc is a well known wine journalist based in Belgium, writing for a number of French and Belgian titles. Like Michel, he is a virgin blogger.
