Wine Spectator CNP picks vs our network

In this recent copy of Wine Spectator, their Rhone correspondent James Molesworth picks his top Chateauneufs of the 2017 vintage - 23 different estates- of these 10 are in ( or have been ) part of the network of wineries we take our guests to in Cheateuenuf du Pape. When you consider there are more than 250 producers in the appellation , it suggests my selections are pretty “hot” , or just that James and I share the same tastes!
