2023 Vacqueyras Rouge “Doucinello”

Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux
Discount Eligible $42.00
AT CART MAX

Serge Férigoule and his son Frédéri remind me a bit of the Mary Poppins characters Bert and Uncle Albert, who float to the ceiling because they love to laugh. Serge and Frédéri, similarly, almost levitate with their infectious, jovial nature, and this is reflected in their lively, joyous Vacqueyras. Velvety, red-fruited, and plummy, this gorgeous Grenache-forward red might not make you and your table drift up to the ceiling, but merrier you will certainly be.

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
