Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

Guigal Chateauneuf du Pape 2000

Brought along by James but he let slip that it was from BirDungy's cellar. Tried first with the soup which drowned it. The Syrah came through but the floral notes of the Grenache were killed. Colour was the classic ruby with pink-orange tinge that I always see in CNDP. When we tried it again later the flowers, especially violets came out. Genuinely good but slightly over-powered by the other wines.
