But this one is Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsaut, Carignan.
CharlesHOST
Carignan.
NickHOST

CharlesHOST
Nice.
NickHOST
And at some point we might get into the, uh, regiment of Carignan-Salières that went here and crushed the Iroquois in the 17th century-
CharlesHOST
I think-
NickHOST
... for France
Jeff WiesingerGUEST
I remember back in the day when you could call any white wine Chablis, and any red wine could be called Burgundy.
Jeff WiesingerGUEST
And all the field blends, and with the Carignans, and the Petit Syrahs, Petit Verdots, and all the whites were Chenin Blanc, and French columbar, and Muscadine, and...
Jeff WiesingerGUEST
Uh-huh.
Jeff WiesingerGUEST
Continue.
David GatesGUEST
They were working a nonprofit on how to help out Chile, basically, and get them to become more self-sufficient.
David GatesGUEST
It was associated with health care and self-sufficiency, and he came across these beautiful old Cabernet vineyards interspersed with Carignan vineyards and Pais vineyards and said, okay, let's, he activated this ancient co-op and started making wine from that.
David GatesGUEST
And he was, they were, I would say he and Fritz were 30, 35 or so years ahead of their time because, you know, now Chile exports almost, they export a lot of wine and But back then, and that was the whole deal, was to make the wine, raise the quality of the wine, and then export it.
David GatesGUEST
And that's pretty much what Chile has been doing now for a few years.

Daniel FriebeHOST
What is, what would you say is sort of recurring characteristics in Catalan reds?
Greg AndrewsGUEST
So Catalan reds are predominantly sort of, uh, Garnacha, um, Carignana or Carignan in, in French terms.
Greg AndrewsGUEST
Um, you have, you have some other sort of, uh, vari- smaller, lesser-known varieties like Samal.
Greg AndrewsGUEST
Um, in Priorat quite a few of the wines are made, are made using Cabernet and Syrah that you see quite prolifically through the region.
AndrewHOST
And apparently when Durif was brought in, it was mislabeled as Petit Seurat Seurat.
AndrewHOST
And then also subsequently, if you took cuttings from, say, a mixed blacks vineyard where it would be, say, Zinfandel, Carignan, Grenache, Valdege, you know, and Syrah and possibly Petit Syrah, that you could label that as Petit Syrah as well.
AndrewHOST
So it was kind of like, what is Petite Syrah? So kind of confusing.
AndrewHOST
And actually, it was Carol Meredith in 1996 at UC Davis who figured out not only the parentage of Petite Syrah, because Francois Adrave didn't know it was actually Syrah that was the parent.
Bart HansonHOST
Still got some of that
Jasmine EganGUEST
Carignan around? I do.
Bart HansonHOST
Oh, it's so good.
Bart HansonHOST
Man, I've got some Zinfandel, some older Zinfandel around that those who I know will appreciate it will get that.
Jasmine EganGUEST
Shut up.
