No, you are confusing them with the Worcester sauce Perrins. A mistake often made. Which wines do you have? I think I see you as a Vinsobres type.
Gigondas, L'Argnée, Vieilles Vignes (Cotes du Rhone Villages)

Should be at its peak over the next couple of years by all accounts. Pre-phylloxera, wow, that’s pretty damned Vieille... don’t think I have ever knowingly tasted a pre-phylloxera wine.2011. I've tried a couple late last year (Christmas, in fact!), but decided to leave it for a little longer. Maybe time to sample it again.

This has been the year of discovering white wine for me, mostly Sicilian, some Spanish and Italian. Really enjoying these young wines for lunch, food pairing is the key for me, get it right and it works a treat.
I've found Italian whites quite tricky (but then so are their reds): what have you liked ?
Impressive first reveal on this thread !
I've not had it either. Seems about same price as Beaucastel. Have you had a chance to compare them ?
No; I don't go in for comparisons much, mainly because my 'taste' memory is so poor I can't remember from one bottle to another!
You both need a pencil and notebook
I keep a log, I have two wine fridges on different floors and racks in the garage for the younger non keeper wines. I list where they are, year, alcohol content, country of origin a brief description and lastly I grade the wine, that is the only way I would remember. The ones in the rack I merely comment on the invoice if I want to re-order.
Or you could post your thoughts here and use the search facility whenever you need to know what you thought of a wine. That wayYou both need a pencil and notebook

Have a look at Cellartracker.

Why alcohol content?
