2007 Galevan Paroles de Femme CdR

[hotwine]

The blend is 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and 10% Cinsault. A bit funky on opening but quickly resolving in the glass with a nose of ripe red fruit, dark leather and underlying spices. More of the same on the palate with lip-smacking red & black fruit, nice mouthfeel. Moderate finish. 14.5% alc/vol and a give-away $7.99 at Costco. Stock up, but be patient when serving and let it breathe in the glass for an hour or so before dinner. We paired it with a Saturday night omelet of fresh eggs, 'shroom, peppers, grated cheddar and onions. Very nice indeed.

Sounds like a nice pairing.

I really need to get some of those cheapie '07 CdR's. I've been bad about that this year, and in such a good vintage!

Gil, Jane. Matt -- Thanks for posting on this, guys. Since Verne left, we've had a tremendous dearth of posts. Well, Drew's been posting, and he's to be commended for that, but we're still really missing Veerne's posts!!!!!!!!!

[TheEngineer]

Any way that we can get Verne back? I miss the old fella. Learned a lot from Mr. Verne.

[VouvrayHead]

We need to start a petition!

Ol' Fumblefingers is a most prodigious consumer whose fractured notes we can't really do without. Maybe he'll respond to Texican....

HEY, YOU OLD FART! GET OFF YER ARSE AND POST!

[Drew]

Yea, he's just acting like an Ole Poo. Talked to him yesterday about the U.S Open but didn't discuss the board. He's doing fine. Sounds like a nice wine Gil, I'm not seeing as much Rhone wines as I use to in these here parts.
