WineNotes November 2011

November is Rhone Blend Month

We all love red blends, but is it a Bordeaux Blend, Rhone Blend or a Crossover blend that we like best? This month we are featuring "Rhone Blends" from four different wine regions of the world. All four wines are produced from only Rhone varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise. So swing in to see if you are a "Rhone Blend" kind of person, and if so, what's your favorite region!

Cheers!
