A wine with a barbecue spice, smoky bacon fat-scented, flamboyant nose is the 1999 Grenache Christine's. From 30 year-old Grenache vines, classic Rhone notes of underbrush, pepper, and spice emerge from this medium-bodied, dark plum/ruby-colored wine. Smoky and spicy, it is best drunk over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
