Dear Cotes du Rhone,
You are a true friend. We have been buddies since I was a poor, recent college graduate. With your bargain price, and ability to be drinkable, even when young, we got along great. The amazing thing about you is your range. You can be young, inexpensive, yet very drinkable, as well as mature, sophisticated and even pricey. You can be bold and spicy, or subtle and fruity. Most recently, we hung out together to watch an episode of Game of Thrones.
You were vibrant, fruity (you know how I love dark berries), yet with some hints of leather and spice. Your tannins were just right to get me through the season finale!
You have so much to offer, and I am glad we are friends. If you will indulge me, a song comes to mind
Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.
And if you through a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.
- Thank You for Being a Friend, Golden Girls Theme song by Andrew Gold

Thank you, my friend. I look forward to many more years of fun together!
Love,
Me
