Summer makes me remiss in posting, often getting in the way of routine. A good thing, generally. This is a no-vintage red blend from the Rhone Valley producer St. Cosme. I am fully intrigued by the small batch of forward thinking french producers who still yet remain true to terroir. This is just such a wine, with clever marketing, a good price, and quality to back it up.
Light fruit and spices punctuate this pleasant table wine. Very food friendly, especially with poultry or heavy fish like arctic char (what I consumed it with). Overall very much worth the money.

Hmmm... I had this wine before and I wasn't the biggest fan. It's a blend of young and old-vine grenache, right? Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of grenache-based wines. =/

Yes it is. Very Grenache-y wine. I think these sorts of wines are best consumed with food. They are also a very particular kind of flavour. I think it's usually a like/dislike divide with cheaper grenache based wines from the Rhone (or Spain).
Hi,
I am writing to you on behalf of Zephyr Wine Adventures and Open Wine Consortium to invite you to attend the first-ever North American Wine Bloggers Conference scheduled for October 24-26 in Sonoma County, California. This conference will be a chance for wine bloggers - those who write about wine or about the wine industry - to meet each other, discuss our impact on the world of wine, and have a great time. We have put together a fantastic conference that includes two dinners, two lunches, educational seminars, a Grand Tasting, a Live Wine Blogging event, keynote speakers including Gary Vaynerchuk and Alice Feiring, and a Vineyard Walk all at a subsidized price of only $95.
Please see www.WineBloggersConference.org for details and to register. We have limited conference and hotel space, so please don't wait to reserve your spot.
Whether you can join us or not, please consider promoting the conference by writing about it on your blog. Please contact me and I will send you a small conference logo for you to use. Also, if you would like to sign up for Zephyr Wine Adventures' Travels With Wine e-newsletter or join the OpenWine Consortium, please visit www.TravelsWithWine.com and www.OpenWineConsortium.org.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you at the conference!
