90/100

line of the day – ‘not too over the top. A push-up bra and low cut…but not NAKED.’

QOTD/General Response: Great energy on this episode. First episode in which I’ve tried one of the wines (The Cline Vineyards) and I gotta say I agreed with you completely. Actually, I was a little harsher and probably would have gone a few points lower. My experiences with Monastrell have been very up and down–sometimes they maintain the rusticity other times it ends up like the Cline version. I think Provence/Languedoc are the best areas for MV and if I see its presence in a Rhone blend that’s a swayer.

Big Bandol fan. I’ve always picked up dried raisins/fig/bark on them but I haven’t tried a single vineyard Tempier (think I’m more of a Pradeaux partisan).

This is particularly pertinent if you kennett national bank are looking to invest upwards of £50,000, as investments higher than this are not currently guaranteed by the government unless they are invested within a National Savings product.

one time me and Mourvedre went to a seedy little juke joint just off the main highway in the outskirts of Bandol. A broomhouse mama greeted us at the door with a platter of fine cheeses and cured gamey meats while a young pimply lad poured us some cool rose. a young maiden then hustled us through a series of passage ways, the sounds creschendoing, until we happened upon a beaded doorway. she motioned us to go forward, so we did, and came upon a lot of dancing, inebriated, lively folk swaying and swashing to the sounds of a trio who were known all around these parts of town for their glass toasting traditionals. I don't remember much after that.

The Mourvedre that I’ve had have been from the Paso Robles area. Denner Vineyards uses Mourvedre in a number of their wines (Ditch Digger, Syrah, Grenache, etc.) as well as has one that is mostly Mourvedre. (Disclaimer: I work there) I like that we have something that most folks in our area DON’T make, and we make it well.

I’ve also had Cass Winery’s Mourvedre, which I always tell people that their 06 was like Al Pacino from Scent of a Woman in a glass…it had the “hoo-wah” factor. Nice spice, deep fruit.

I’m always quick to try more – had a couple from Rhone area (when I knew it was in there). It’s a fantastic grape. I’m hoping to see more of it as time progresses!
