The pope, a castle, and a glass of wine. No setup for a bad joke, but a good summary of what most of us know regarding the significance of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Greg will offer guidance in understanding the makeup of the wine (13 allowed grapes?), producer profiles, traditions maintained and innovations emerging, what does it all mean?? ….all while he walks backwards!
