The idea being that forumites taste wines that played a significant part in them getting into wine, but also to reflect on whether they still think the same of the wine all these years on. Maybe times change and the wine holds no appeal any more. Maybe the love has remained strong throughout the years. Maybe there might even be a rekindling of the old passion.

Ask a bazillion producers in the Southern Rhone and Languedoc.
Victorwine wrote:Tradition. I would definitely think that with an increase in Syrah acreage the proportion of the Syrah percentage is on the rise. I don’t believe there is a stipulation in the rules and regulations of the CdP AOC governing allowable percentages. So technically any (single) varietal wine made in the region from any one of the 13 or so “allowable” grape varieties could be labeled CdP.
