Yeah, figured from du Pape the region. I don't like French wines as much as Spanish, but Grenache gives the taste of Spain to Papes. My favorite grapes are Tempranillo, Grenache & Merlot, in that order. Checked out Fiola and found it for 21,2 euros. If it's bad, I will mock you mercilessly forever.
Mouton cadet is 10e and the description says "pleasing and flexible"?? That doesn't tell me much what it tastes like. :I CS isn't my fav grape, maybe I just haven't even tried to acquire a taste for Bordeaux or Bourgogne. Well, what do I lose by trying..
I have been trying to talk Tane into buying a 150 euros vintage Rothschild with me. We have had the competition (who will drink a better wine for more stupid reasons and poor company) long enough and could end it by that.
