About one year ago I opened a bottle of 2004 Les Ruchets Cornas from Jean-Luc Colombo winery located in the northern appellation of Cornas in the Rhône Valley, France. The vineyards enjoy the influence of the sea and sun with hot days and cool nights that are ideal conditions for grape growing. Alcohol: 12.8%. SRP: $19.99.

With winemaking roots from 1899, the family owns vineyards in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino. The DOC quality level is high, and the price is reasonable at $15. The vines were planted with “mindful production and planting practices” in 2004. Blu Giovello is produced by the Piera family.
