I think they're far enough away from Cotes du Rhone to be safe. And I think the name really came about a suggestion from someone else who had been there and seen the goats. Charles didn't like it at first because he thought it might be too cute or frivolous and he did consider his wine seriously good.
Finally he relented and the brand took off.

The Backs are well aware that someone might buy it one time for the label, but they know that to resell it, it must stay tasty.

What's funny is that their Camembert won two years running in the World Cheese Championship, which included Camembert enteries from France. That really got the French folks goat. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

I really like the Goat Rotie as well. And the Fairview Beacon Shiraz '02 is stellar stuff in the classical style.
