We had this wine several evenings ago. It was delicious: dry, tannic, dark fruity. No negatives; a step up from our usual fare.
(Interestingly, the history of Chateauneuf du Pape is entwined with the Popes.)
A lot going on right now: my mother is moving up to live in our town this week. Just a little moving hassle, and then it will be smooth sailing. Melody is traveling for work this week. I’m traveling for work next week.
(It kind of reminds me of that old movie, “If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium.”)
