Jancis Robinson, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Wine Rankings
Wine critic Jancis Robinson's recent rankings in the Financial Times are discussed, specifically her praise for various Chateauneuf-du-Pape labels. The hosts argue that the wine has become overpriced and trendy due to influence from critics like Robert Parker. They suggest there is a "sameness" to the variety that does not justify the $100+ price tags of high-ranked bottles.
