I have another producer that uses all 13 varietals in their Chat du Pape. It's the Domaine du Beaurenard "Boisrenard" from the Coulon family. Frederic and Daniel, the brothers who run the domaine tell me that their grandfather co-planted all 13 varietals in the Boisrenard vineyard back in the 20's. The really cool thing (at least to me) is that after several years they all starte ripening at the same time, as opposed to their other vineyards where the varietals are kept in their own blocks and ripen at different times. I liken it to women that work in the same office that get on the same cycle. You really should check out Domaine de Beaurenard and see if you want to add it to your list as this is a top notch estate. Even the Rasteau is tremendous and not to be missed. Let me know of your next trip to CDP and I'll get you a visit you won't soon forget. cheers, Randall Roberts Hey Steve,

I already have purchased your wine grape varietal table which I framed and is now hanging on the wall. Your attention to detail is astonishing. Thank you for all that you do for those of us seeking to improve our wine knowledge. Cheers, Bob Morris I was wondering if you also have a Wine Aroma Wheel that could be purchased.

Very pleased and impressed with both the information and quality. Nice Rhone map too. To nitpick, rather than 'Rasteau Vin Du Naturel' it should be 'Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel' descibing the sweet, fortified wine in red, white and dore (rose) forms from there.
