2017 Saint Joseph Rouge
Lionel FauryI just drank a bottle of 2017 Saint Joseph Rouge by Lionel Faury and it is absolutely delicious!
This is the best Northern Rhone syrah under $100.00 I have had since the legendary wines of Raymond Trollat. This beauty is brimming and bursting with deep dark flavors of black olive, blackberry and a hint of white pepper. It is delicious right now and or you can age this wine for another 10 years.
I cannot imagine a wine that provides more quality for the price—do not miss getting some of this gorgeous wine! It will work quite well with turkey as well as lamb and other roasted autumnal meals.

About The Producer
Lionel Faury
Along the steep, narrow valley that traces the northern Rhône, the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph take their place among the great wines of France, and Domaine Faury is one of the region’s most artisanal producers. When Philippe Faury took over the domaine in 1979, the family was selling wine, peaches and cherries, and the bulk of their clientele was local. Over the years, Philippe increased their holdings to over 11 hectares and began to sell internationally. He shared his savoir faire with his son, Lionel. Since 2006, Lionel has taken over the reins, though father and son still work side by side. Every method they use encourages the grape towards greatness with the ultimate respect for its fragility.

Where the newsletter started
Where the newsletter started
Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
