    This was our first foray into artisanal, local Cote Rotie in Ampui. It was a 5 min. walk from our…read moreB&B to Clusel Roch. We stayed at La Gerine B&B (the BEST B&B we have ever stayed in on any continent). Look it up on TripAdvisor... Nine, the owner recommended that we visit Clusel Roch (she is well connected, her B&B is literally on the Cote Rotie slopes and she makes calls and connections for those who stay with her). We tasted with Brigitte - she and her husband run the vineyards. The vineyards have been passed down over many generations. She was telling us stories about the War and how their vines survived it... Spouse and I were SHOCKED when we tried the Cote Roties, so much more subtle than the Warehouse Wines $15 bottle that we were introduced to in NYC. PLUS, wine is not a bougie exotic foray for the French, so their bottles are reasonably priced (compared to Napa - where you want to run away from the unearned pretension). We ended up getting their Classique cote rotie AND their show stopper - Les Grandes Places Cote Rotie. We later learned via Nine that only 4 winemakers can grow on Les Grandes Places, it's situated on the steepest slope, is very old and very prestigious in those parts. Apparently the wine will open in ways we can't even fathom right now. Too bad we won't know until say 2020, hahaha. Anyways, I highly recommend a visit to Clusel Roch. They will take you to their caves, provide you with really interesting history and their winery is just beautiful.

    Napa and Sonoma are sh$%. That was solidified while tasting at what became our favorite winery in…read moreAmpui. We literally traveled here due to our intense love of Cote Rotie (ironically, we learned about this wine via "warehouse wines" in NYC. A French winemaker had a bad year and no respectable French person would drink that crap Cote Rotie. So send it to the Americains - winemaker sent cases to this one wine spot in NYC. So, we were able to enjoy $15 bottles of this earthly volcanic delight and we were in love. We didn't care or know that it was the dregs. We realized it was supreme and unlike any other and yearned to know more). The motto of the region is une nature extreme, un joyau rare. Yes, this wine is rarely exported because it's a rare jewel to the French. So, enjoy it in France... Because you won't have sticker shock. The staff at Yves Cuilleron was so kind, helpful. We had a great tasting and quickly realized that we really enjoyed the St. Joseph (we bought the l'amarybelle for drinking now and Les Serines for storing). We also loved and bought the Terres Sombres Cote Rotie. These wines are layered with volcanic granite, ash, minerals and oh so much more. Smoked meats, heaven, blackberries, so many other smells and tastes. Ask me in the year 2021 how the Terres Sombres and Les Serines taste - that's when we will drink them. Oh but l'amarybelle - we went back and got more of that for our trip. It was the reason two French couples at our B&B liked us (they realized we weren't brainwashed by the marketing gimmick of Guigal and Chapoutier). You must go here if you are in Ampuis.
