It looks like I've come a long way from page one. We took a 4 day weekend trip over Thanksgiving to the South of France, specifically the Rohne valley. We spent a full day driving around to the different wineries in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape area tasting and stockpiling. I came home with 18 bottles left after the rest of the weekend. This was some of the best wine I have ever had. Here's a picture of the back of the van after the last winery of the day.
Tonight I'm cracking open a bottle of Domaine de Mourchon Tradition 2009. 65% grenache, 25% syrah, 10% carignan from 40 year old vines.
ETA: Pretty good. Really mellow and velvety feel, not much tannin. Dry on the finish. I think this is my last bottle of this. Wish I had another.
