		<description><![CDATA[Châteaneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a wine that won't get written about much for the next year or so because writers and editors have embraced a very narrow definition of Value in these financially strained times.  It's a shame.  A bottle of 2004 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe reminded me just how much I love these wines.  Click the headline to read on . . .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By 2005, an outstanding vintage on all accounts, David had accumulated a bit (1.5 ha) of land, and made nearly 6,000 bottles of wine (bottles, not cases).  The wines are stunning.  His meticulous vineyard practices and hard work (he is his only employee) have endeared him to his neighbors, and some of the best vignerons in Burgundy sing his praises . . .
