Sous le pont d'Avignon...sings the song. Nearby Avignon, Provence, France, there is Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône's fine wines.
At Vedene, a lovelly small village nearby Avignon, on September 27, 2008, I enjoyed a half bottle of red Château Saint Roman, Côtes du Rhône, 2005, of Caves Saint Pierre. A local suggestion. A nice surprise.
