set you a challenge

I really like this wine lately, Parallele 45, an affordable (~$10) Cote du Rhone. It's a bit soft and gentle, not like my usual rough reds. It takes a chill well and pairs nicely with most meals. It just so happens to be the second wine I've really enjoyed with this little importer band on it...



the first was an amazing (big!) Douro from Churchill Estates, it was the first time I tried Douro, a Portugese wine, and I instantly loved it. The nice girl at Bin 604, a fancy pants wine store that I am undoubtedly going to return to, was nice enough to give me a rundown on the Douro, she said its what happens when port wine grapes don't get made into port. (which I really don't care for, so yay for me) to find out more about this exotic wine look here "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douro_wine"

So I challenge you to find a wine at your local booze shop from Wildman and Sons as the importer,

and see if you like it...
