I'll drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the beverage business.

I'm Levy Dalton.

I'm Erin Scala and here's our show today. Oh, Sometime around 200 B.C.

Roman moved into the Northern Rhone and brought vines with them, making their own valley

one of the oldest places with the French wine heritage.

Coat Roti, roughly translating to roasted slopes, receives a lot of sunlight, but also submits to the risk of fog

and possible damage by the fierce and relentless mestraw wind.

The mestraw wind is a pretty serious force of nature.

When you combine the me straw wind with another feature of the coat roti,

super steep slopes, you get vineyard work that is difficult and dangerous.

The steep areas can also fall prey to erosion,

an environmental condition that many people try to fend off with stone walls and terraces.

Here you'll find granite and schist soils, which define coat rotis

two sub-regents, the coat prune and the coat-blond. Coate blonde is generally considered to be

more elegant, while the coat coat prune is seen as

making more powerfully structured wines. Historically they've been blended together

but more recently producers have been bottling single vineyards to great success.

In particular, the vineyards of La Landon, La Moline, and La Turk.

These vineyards, plus a few others, are colloquially known as the Lallas.

Here you'll find Surah almost exclusively,

though producers may blend in up to 20% of Fianniay.

Coatroti in particular is of great interest because its perception has dramatically changed over the last three decades.
