2008 Hospice du Rhône - The Wines of E. Guigal
To any fan of the wines from France’s Rhone Valley, the name Guigal needs no introduction - in fact it is as well known as Syrah itself. In fact, everyone attending the 4th seminar of the 2008 Hospice du Rhone was salivating to partake of these wines.
Hosted by Phillippe Guigal, with additional commentary from Patrick Will, attendees were able to sample 10 wines from E. Guigal: 2006 Condrieu, 2006 Condrieu “La Doriane,” 2006 St. Joseph “Lieu-Dit Le St. Joseph,” the etherial 2005 Ermitage Blanc “Ex Voto,” 2003 Cote Rotie “Brune et Blonde,” 2005 St. Joseph “Vignes de L’Hospice,” 1998 Cote Rotie “Chateau d’ Ampuis,” 2004 Cote Rotie “La Moline,” 2004 Cote Rotie “La Landonne,” and finally the amazing 2001 Ermitage Rouge “Ex Voto.”
Join us as we hear from Phillippe Guigal about the fascinating history of this legnedary property, with its steep hillside vineyards and delicious wines.

I am not sure if this guy could have butchered the pronunciation of hospice du Rhone any more than he did. Jesus this was awful. I actually found myself mad after listening to this. After this, I imagine he drives a Merkedes and lives a scondo. If you are going to present someone, at least make an effort. This was beyond bad.
