Thanks. Really though, you are supposed to drink it like an apperatif or dessert and not like other wines.
I know Napa is in California, so where are your photos from Lowell?

Chateauneuf du pape is a small town, north of avignon france, and during the period of the "black popes" in rome, the other pope lived in avignon france, the chateau where I took the photo is now a ruin, but was the summer home of the pope.
Chateauneuf du pape is one of only two towns in the southern rhone valley that one wine guide called competant when I lived in france many years ago, the other town was Gigondas (which I actually prefer)
