Christi has NO idea what's going on! (Big surprise, right?)
Tasting a wine blind can be a terrifying experience, as we all fear looking foolish- but Christi's greatest gift is knowing how much she doesn't know, and being fine with that!
Join us as we learn to trust our sense, learn that we never know it all, and most of all, take the fear out of wine!
It's time to Pop in the Earbuds, Pour yourself a Glass, and join us as we Drink Something AMAZING!

Winemaker Notes
While it may bear the “lowly” designation of Côtes-du-Rhône, think of it as mini-Marcoux. Lithe and spicy, it is a Grenache-dominant cuvée from two sites just north of the boundary of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Maucoil and Bois Lauzon. There are small and varying percentages of Mourvedre, Cinsault and Syrah added to the Grenache each vintage.
Official French records indicate that the Armenier family has been tending vines in Chateauneuf-du-Pape since the 1300's.
Today, winemaker-sisters Catherine Armenier and Sophie Estevenin continue to write history with the wines of Domaine de Marcoux.
In 1990, the Domaine became the first in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape to implement biodynamic farming practices. Their youngest vines are 40 to 60-years-old, and in short, the sisters do as little as possible to the harvested grapes. This domaine, as critic Stephen Tanzer put it, is "the essence of Chateauneuf-du-Pape."
In 2003, Robert Parker named Sophie and Catherine on his list of "Wine Personalities of Year"
