Weekend in CDP

[Freckles]

Husband and friends and I are off to Chateauneuf du Pape for a little swimming, drinking and sunning next weekend. Which vinyards should we visit, svp?

Thanks

Okay. We are currently booked into the following for degustations:

- Chateau la Nerthe

- Chateau Mont-Redon

- Bosquet des Papes

- Chateau de la Gardine

- Domaine de Beaurenard

I also plan, if I can, to try some Mont Ventoux, if I have time.

My question is this. Are there any wines that I should be sure to try/buy? Any particular knock-my-socks off that I should definitely stock up on? What would you be guzzling if you went to these places?

Thanks. - Freckles

Picked up some Cuvee des Generations 2000 at Chateau de la Gardine. It cost 58Euros/ bottle and shouldn't be drunk any time soon. But the most rich and delicious nectar I've tasted in a loooong time.

I see no one gave you any ideas.....but I think we would still all love to hear a trip report? How was it?

Freckles,

As I sit in sweltering NJ, you may color me totally green with envy of your trip.
