Re, grenache: a good winemaker with good grapes can truly offer an experience with this varietal, especially when blended with tempranillo, and of course with other Rhone grapes. I do also like mourvedre.

On the subject of CA vs.the Rhone: I have yet be persuaded that the money spent for the CA versions gets me any more or better value than the money spent for the real Rhones, and when I buy the Rhone I get a sense of place in the wine, which I do not get in CA versions.
