I think that looks great, Mark. One thing, there's a typo for the St. Joseph,
should be "Domaine Pierre Coursodon." I probably mistyped earlier.

I wonder if we should mention the "other" part of the CdR, that is the
Diois? Clarette de Die tradition is a lovely low alcohol sweet bubbly that
makes a perfect apperitif wine and a nice change from champagne. Two
good producers are Faure and Vincent; the coop should be avoided.

As for the boundaries, maybe add something along the lines of "includes
the southern Drôme as north as Montelimar and as far east as Nyons and
the Barronies mountains, a large swath of the Ardèche along the river,
the eastern strip of the Gard nearly to Nimes, and the western part of
the Vaucluse from Vaison la Romaine as far south as the Avignon suburbs."

After all, you get paid by the letter, right? <g>

Otherwise your current wording is shorter and I took it in as technically
accurate!
