4 killer Cotes du Rhone Villages from 2007

[newsguy]

ordered an '06 Roger Sabon Lirac Chapelle de Maillac at dinner last night, but the bottle was corked and it was their last one. sommelier upgraded to an '07 Lirac (didn't write down the producer and bottling info). a damn fine wine, just a pop and pour, but of course improved over time.

as has been said many times, '07 produced killer wines from the southern rhone, top to bottom. everything i've tried has been top notch, from the CDRs to the Liracs (my sweet spot for QPR) to the CDPs, of course.

add in California and rieslings from Germany, and '07 gave us a lot of juice to be thankful for.
