wine without food

[Innkeeper]

Our favorite quaffer is mourvedre. It gives you almost all you would want in a red plus hints a game, leather, and stuff like that. We like Staley Russian River Valley. You can find other American Mourvedres at www.rhonerangers.org. From France look for Bandol and St Chinian. From Spain look for wines made from or mostly from Monastrell. If your folks in Towson are as good as you say they are, they should be able to help you find a good selection of these.
