Cotes Du Rhone Villages 2016 Terre D’Argile Red Blend Tasting and Review

July 3, 2019June 30, 2019 by Rick

This week I open, taste and review a Domaine De La Janasse Cotes Du Rhone Villages 2016 Terre D’Argile Red Blend from France. I purchased it for $19.99 from Winestore in Blakeney. In the process of introducing this wine, I also do an excellent job of unintentionally decimating the French language. It may be worth watching to laugh at that alone.

During the show I toast all my friends who had birthdays during the week, as well as my wife’s birthday in the coming week. I also tell you why I think red light cameras installed at intersections are dangerous.
