I tasted a $300 (wholesale, mind you) bottle of wine! Henri Bonneau 2000 Reserve des Celestins. Drum roll…keep your money.

100% grenache. Incroyable!

My favorite was a $70 Domaine Olivier Hillaire Les Petits Pieds d’Armand. 100% grenache. Smooth and persistent. Wow!

My favorite affordable wine though was surprisingly a rose – Domaine Lafond Roc-Epine, Tavel. It was fresh and zippy.
