We tasted bottles from wine regions in southern France, such as Rhone, Province and Languedoc. One bottle of Wine A was funny so the result shows 4 high points and 10 worsts. There was one California Syrah as an odd ball. But it was produced as Cote Rotie style and it kind of fit in, so the result was right in the middle in Ranking. We now know the Van de Pay shifted into high quality wine and we almost have to pay more than what we pay for Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
