Not a bad release but having seen the next one, I’m saving my money for it. If I were to spend, I’d buy the two Shiraz from OZ or something from the west coast, there are three Cali offerings that look good, as well as a couple from the Okanagan.
From Italy, I like some of them, but again, they are overshadowed by the release of the 24th.

Hi BP - I just came across your blog looking for a review of Domaine de Mulins Jacques Charlet 2007 Beaujolais. Oddly, I just started a wine blog as well. Keep the recommendations coming!
You are not by any chance GMBP? Cheese Guru?
