Continental drift

“What a crock,” I thought as I sipped a Jones ’09 marsanne and chatted with the winemaker, Mandy Jones. Actually I was thinking: “Wow, what a croque monsieur.” I was enjoying the French bar staple with the equally delicious marsanne at Mandy’s winery cafe a couple of kilometres outside Rutherglen, in north-east Victoria. Jones worked in Bordeaux, France, for many years before returning to the family winery, and so had plenty of time to perfect this classic ham and cheese sandwich. Jones’s winemaking sensibilities have also benefited from her time in France, if the styling of her marsanne is anything to go by, reports the Australian Financial Review.
