Steve, I'm with you here.

I have had numerous St Josephs that I really enjoy.

As just one example, I picked up a bunch of the Alain Paret Rochecourbe St Joseph '02 for a song on a close out recently and have really enjoyed it.

There are other St Joseph examples in the past as well.

Really, Steve? Do I understand you aright that you are more attuned to St. Joseph than the other N Rhone communes? More than Hermitage, Cornas or Cte-Rtie? Interesting, if true.

The better Pallagrello Nero wines seem most consistently to give me the things I like best about St. Joseph.

Maybe we can start some kind of chain here...
