Domaine La Garrigue
Vacqueyras
Elegant and complex yet farmy and simply delicious. Makes me want to eat triangles of melted goat Brie and celebrate under umbrellas of red rains of GSM. A wine to celebrate at this afford. Purchased at $15, half price. Seriously?? Tell me how it feels to be grape-raped.

Aug 20th, 2017At a sweet spot. I tried this wine 2 years ago and like it a lot better now. Dried fig, pencil lead & game. Wine is super dry.

Jan 6th, 2017After days of successful West Coast wine tasting, I needed to come home. And here we are: old school Rhône wine. Perfect balance of garrigue, tannins and red/black fruit. Toothsome even. I love this.
