Rhone
^^^^^^^^^
It's a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, which also explains why I liked it so much as it has two of my favourite varitals in it.Clos du Mont-Olivet is a house most famous for its Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but its humble Cote-du-Rhone offering 'Font de Blanche' may be one of the great values this year. For a wine that is priced aggressively under $20, the Font do Blanche is exceptionally well balanced with stong red fruit: raspberry, red cherry and a hint of strawberry intertwine and lift up to a finish of cracked black pepper. Spice and fruit accomodate to a slight acidic twang: this is a food-friendly Rhone. The only danger is the complexity masks the 14% alcohol by volume, be careful with this sophisticated bargain.
Pand-- Heading over to the wine shop out west tomorrow afternoon to taste a few wines and pick a few up. I'm really excited.

Cool. I'm looking forward to it! I'll be the fat kid in the chef's whites.
