Dale, thanks for the great notes. Can I ask if you found this in NYC?
It's one of those that I keep in the back of my mind but never see at
Astor or my neighborhood shops.

TIA,

Yes, I got it at Chambers St. Wines (my fave NYC shop, probably) for about
$8-9. Also worth trying is this wine's big brother (Oupia "Barons" Minvervois)
at $14 or so and little sister ( €œLes Heretiques€� VdP l'Herault) at $7 or
less.

And by the way, I neglected vintage on the Chianti- 2001.

Thanks for reading.


Dale
