WineRelease.com's September 15, 2022 Monthly Newsletter (4 days late)

This month we had 142 winery updates and 116 wineries releasing wine.

Sorry for the late update, lots of work at my day job, lots of wine updates and lots of wine releases.

We are back in Paris after 6 weeks in St. Remy and multiple day trips to Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Most of the wine I bought in CDP is being shipped to Paris so we are stocked full for the moment.
We had my birthday last weekend and had a dozen friends over for dinner and enjoyed white and red CDP.

CDP street
To avoid my wine being subjected to the Paris summer heat, and it did reach 106 in August,
I stored my stash in my wine shop and then lugged it back upon our return from St. Remy.


CDP street
The steps up to the top of CDP and to the restaurant Le Verger des Papes located at the top of CDP.
I recommend their lamb, it was amazing.


CDP castle wall
The top of CDP.


Chante Cigale
My friends wanted to take a photo of me behind the counter at Chante Cigale so I obliged,
then a couple walked in and I said "parlez vous anglais?" and they said "yes" and I welcomed them to the winery
and asked them to come up to the bar then I couldn't keep a straight face and told them I was just a customer...

And now, onto the wine releases...
