Mmmm. Smells like poop, not too dark. Easy and firm in the front, juicy and never ending on the back. The J-Lo of wines ... — 11 years ago

My current Trader Joe $6 favorite. Amazing for $6 and I don't care if I open it for just one glass — 12 years ago

2003- Don't be afraid of the vintage :) 80 Grenache knit beautifully w/ 20 Mourvedre. This was the precursor to VT's "Telegramme" bottling. Dark fruit & pronounced black pepper w/ a secondary savory/umami note. — 11 years ago

I need to drink more Rhone stuff. Starter suggestions?

Anthony Lombardi

Guigal makes well priced wines which show off the various appellations well. St Cosme too. Any Kermit Lynch imports. The Perrin family. In the Northern Rhone, Crozes-Hermitage & St Joseph are good appellations to start with as you can find great wines which are well priced. In the South, Cotes du Rhone & the various villages, Vacqueyras, Lirac, Corbieres, Ventoux. Gigondas will show more structured wines in the South.

Eventually work your way to Cote Rotie, CDP & Hermitage & weep for your wallet. :)

Thanks a lot!
