The Wine... Christian Leperchois runs an excellent estate in the southern Rhone valley of France. I expect the masterful red and rose he crafts from the AOCs of Lirac and Tavel respectively pay the rent here (we sell both, if you're interested), but Leperchois' tasty little Syrah initially drew my interest. Really pure flavors of the grape, dark and cool, a little spicy. I'd pair this wine with a pizza topped with fresh rosemary, not too briny black olives ideally from Provence, and rounds of fresh mozzarella.
