Cotes du Rhone
By
Kurt Wieneke
I lived in Arizona when I first started getting into
wine, and I had a friend who always brought Cotes
du Rhone to any get-together. What I recall from
those experiences was that Cotes du Rhone is not
only a fruit-forward and complex (red) wine,
but it was great to drink before, during, or after
the meal. And in retrospect, that really is the
hallmark of any great “go-to” or house wine.

producer
The Cotes du Rhone region is centered along
the Rhone river in southern France between the
towns of Vienne and Avignon, and is a massive
Mediterranean wine region. To put it in perspective, the
Cotes du Rhone region is nearly five (5) times larger than
Napa Valley in terms of vineyard area.
