I'd like to pick up a few Chateauneuf du Pape wines. I can't remember ever having any, but I've been looking around for some stuff in the $20-30 range and it seems these wines are priced fairly high. Can anyone name of some good labels in that range? Also, I've noticed that CdP produces almost all red wine, and I Rarely see white coming out of CdP. How are the whites?

2007 is a good vintage for CdP. Vatican, Perrin, Guigal and Telegraph are popular. White CdP is actually popular and worth trying if you're into whites.

I can get a lot of 2007 CdP. How's Telegramme? My local wine store has it just under $30, I may pick a bottle up.

It's a second label to the Telegraphe that you mentioned, Moses. Produced from younger vines, less than 30 years old.

'07 CdP's need some time to decant if you plan to drink now. Consider buying some Gigondas; another Rhone wine for less money. St. Cosme makes a nice one, as Guigal.

Pretty much anything in Kermit Lynch portfolio, all the wines he imports should have his sticker on them. Some are great values and priced fairly low.

Picked up a few bottles today,

2007 Telegramme Chateauneuf Du Pape
2007 Domaine les Pallieres "Les Terraces de Diable"

The first two wines are imported by Kermit Lynch.
Has anyone read his book, Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France
