Hello, Grenache gris!

This is my latest thrill. And it’s thrilling*

2008 Domaine de L’Anglore „Sels d’Argent„, which I tasted a couple of months ago twice, two days in a row, made my eyes pop.

2008 Clos de l’Origine „Les Quilles Libres”, tasted recently, confirmed that I must inquire more into the grape, which is simply unheralded. This wine has such utter acidity, such wiry and unpredictable aromatics, it cannot be from the Côtes Catalanes, yet it is. And it’s gorgeous.

Readers (if I have any left, given my desultory posting frequency of late; a lapse I intend to right, right away), please do tell me of grapes I should be drinking more.

And do not correct the „grapes … drinking” sentence structure: it’s a synecdoche, I swear.

*Fittingly for a thrill, you’ll tell me.
