La Grange de Piaugier, Cotes du Rhone - 2009
this would be vin ordinaire if you were sitting in a cafe in Paris on a sunny fall afternoon...and it's amazing. Grape Popsicle in color with a long dry finish that lasts a full minute. Hints of pepper, spice, dark cherry and leather, surround your palette and immediately take you to that small cafe in Saint-Germaine-des-Pres or Montmartre where Hemingway, Lutrec, Steinlen and countless others spent their days quaffing the wines of the Southern Rhone and chatting about all things Belle Epoch. I love everything about this wine honestly and one of the very best things about it is it's price tag. $11.00. Even the bottle brings back memories of Paris. Take a trip back in time and buy as much as you can get your hands on, it is amazing!
Life is short. Enjoy the wine.

Haha, you quote is similar to my FB quote; Life is too short to drink bad wine! I was wondering, do you take requests? Would it be possible next Thursday to suggest wines for Thanksgiving?
