Tim, I think she got it right, this is another producer, my one Patient Cottat memory didn't impress

Are you sure the Ferraton is a blanc? I had not been aware that C-H can be blanc.

They are all crazy good for the price. Try the Viognier. It has great restraint, with rather cardamom-like notes on the nose. It might not fool you for a Condrieu, but for $10, I'd put it up to anything from Washington.
Last year I attended a Roussanne tasting with a very fancy group of Seattle industry folk. We blind tasted several Chateauneuf Blancs, as well as entries from California and Washington. Someone threw in a ringer, the Domaine D'Astruc Marsanne, and it easily won the tasting. Of course, a lot of the wines were blends, and probably a lot of them had some Marsanne in them, making it a little harder to catch the difference in variety, but still, a Marsanne that has the verve to pass as a Roussanne is a pretty impressive thing to me!
