Janice is in charge of our October session, and this year, she decided to focus on Chateauneuf du Pape. This is a style of wine from the southern Rhone Valley, one of the oldest wine-making regions in France.
The month of October is synonymous with harvest time and for Canadians also Thanksgiving and Halloween. This is the time we start to think about the bounty of the local farms and markets have to offer us. Thoughts turn to cozy nights around the dinner table enjoying the best of the season. Comfort food is at the forefront and what pairs best is deep, dark, rich red wines of Côtes du Rhône.
