The Urbanity Brief - June 2008 - (Page 6) 6 Vol. 4~No. 5 Divinity by Osmosis? In the interest of fidelity…as the term applies to our membership, it’s important to represent all taste. In that spirit let me recommend the Châteauneufdu-Pape. Clos des Papes in the Rhône valley has been making wine since 1896. One might expect experience to equal excellence; sadly this is not always the case. And hasn’t always been the case with this vintner. However the 2005 Clos des Papes meets then exceeds the expectation. The Châteauneuf-duPape 2005 reflects the vintner’s skill and commitment. One appellation is next to the Pope’s castle and is surrounded by a wall, ergo clos (closed) and Pape (Pope). You know, now that I think of it, there might be a bit of the divine in this wine… ah, anyway, it’s a blend of Grenache, Mourvédre, and Syrah, but the Grenache dominates; it’s a voluptuous— robust wine. june 2008 Contact your Lifestyle Concierge at 800.940.3612 for acquisition information.
