For all you Rhone Rangers and Rhone wine lovers, here’s a great short video on the 13 grapes of Chateauneuf du Pape from Fabrice over at Beaucastel. He compares each grape varietal to a music instrument. Very cool, Enjoy!

After months of sleepless nights, eating pickles and overhearing whispered comments of “is it just me or has Nirvino put on weight?”, we’ve gone and done it and delivered the Nirvino blog into the world. What to expect? Well, you might find some hot new site updates, fun guest bloggers (it takes a drunk village), and hopefully some witty gonzo wine reporting from our whacky world. We’re constantly on the lookout for what’s hot in the wine world to share with our adoring fans. So stay tuned for more to come and click on Grab the Feed (in the upper right) to add us to your RSS feed.

cheers,

The Nirvino Team
