"In 1954, the village council of Chateauneuf-du-Pape was quite perturbed and apprehensive that flying saucers of 'flying cigars' might do damage to their vineyards, were they to land therein So, right-thinking men all, they passed an ordinance prohibiting the landing of flying saucers or flying cigars in their vineyards The ordinance further states that any flying saucers or flying cigars that did land were to be taken immediately to the pound" Thus reads the label of 'Le Cigare Volant', the inspiration of the original 'Rhone Ranger', Randall Grahm A fabulously delicious red from California's Central Coast - Just one sip teleports you to the southern Rhone valley Fragrant, perfumed aroma of just-picked fresh strawberries Full of flavour, with a delicious combination of juicy richness and super-soft tannins Very moreish Can it really be this irresistible without some kind of mind control? 52% Grenache, 35% Cinsault and 13% Syrah

Heavenly aromas of peach and juicy pear Satisfying richness of texture, balanced by an ion beam of freshness Was this wine abducted? It claims to be from California, but it's rather hard to tell that it doesn't hail from the southern Rhone valley A warp in the fourth dimension, perhaps Made from 46% Grenache Blanc, 34% Vermentino and 20% Clairette Blanche
