The Wine... Chateau la Canorgue is in the Luberon, in central Provence. This red wine from their estate is made from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault: the usual suspects in sunny southern France. Quality is consistent and exceptional. I've taste and sold the wines of this estate for at least seven years (roughly the statute of limitiations on my memory) and they have always been worth paying attention to. The 30-hectare estate is run by an amiable father-and-daughter team. They farm organically and in adherence with many Biodynamic principles. Better farming makes better wine, and the good people at Chateau la Canorgue are willing to work harder to make a better wine for your dinner, and for their environment. Diligence worth rewarding, no?  Swing by the store or call me for an in-depth (and probably passionate, depending on my level of caffination) discussion of Biodynamics.
