Rebecca explores the Southern Rhone

If you've chatted with me in the shop about wine, you likely know my heart belongs in the Cote du Rhone. I drink more of these wines at home and around town than perhaps elsewhere in the larger wine producing world. I have great respect for the French tradition, the terroir they love and cultivate so well. I also enjoy seeing what a new, younger generation of producers has to offer, too. From my perspective, it only "made sense" to make the jaunt overseas to this sacred land, home of Chateauneuf du Pape and Tavel (among others...) where some of the finest wines in the world thrive (no bias).

Check out my web album to enjoy my captions with photos, or whet your whistle below with this snapshot (pun intended) of where my travels took me - and a brief glimpse into the wonderful hospitality I enjoyed while abroad.
