Readers looking for a very good value should check out the 1999 Cotes du Ventoux, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. It is a soft, light-bodied offering that is meant to provide pleasant drinking. It can even be served chilled. Think of it as a substantial Beaujolais-styled wine from southern France. Importer: Pressoir Deutz Winery, Inc., Arroyo Grande, CA.
