[edit] Wine Improvement Drive

From the 6th May 2007 Newsletter :

A number of the regulars are away at the moment, either on holiday or working for exams (good luck guys), so I thought I'd propose an 'easy' article to get to GA status. Following on from Bordeaux wine last time, we are going to share some Wiki love on one of my favourite grapes, Cabernet Franc, it's currently rated as a Start and it would be great to get it up to GA. Given the new policy of aiming WIDs at 'families' of articles, some other articles to work on would be :

• Chinon wine, Saumur wine, Bourgueil and other Loire appellations that use Cabernet Franc in their red wines - some of these need a lot of work
• Petit verdot as another component of the Bordeaux blend.

If that's not enough for you, there are plenty of stubs that could use some attention! FlagSteward 02:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
