There's plenty of Grenache in France; Languedoc-Roussillon, Cotes du Rhone and Gigondas have plenty of Grenache based wines.

Perhaps something from Beaucastel or St. Cosme he might fancy?

I thought that Priorat is a region in Spain??

On a side note, I did buy some Bogle Petite Sirah from 2008 along with another 2005 Bordeaux, Clos Marsalette.

The Bogle has been a hit for some guys in this thread. I may try their Merlot or Cab.

Moses,

Aren't CdPs (Beaucastel and St. Cosme in this case) blends with varying degrees of Grenache in them? Priorat is pure Grenache, and new American oak barrels to boot (even winder flavor variation). They are different animals and as much as I like Grenache blends, 100% Grenache when done right is magic.
