I had a delightful Chateauneuf du Pape at the weekend, a 2001 from Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe. The vineyard stands on the site of one of France’s first telegraph stations, which is quite sweet. I do hope it doesn’t have a mobile phone mast instead now. It’s clear and bright ...

Cool clime mourvedre is almost a contradiction. And speaking of Contra... Cline Cellars bottles a terrific Old Vine Mourvedre from Contra Costa County. Pick up a bottle. David Corey (Core Cellars) in SB has very tasty mourvedre, but it's blended int...
