POTD: 07 Feb 2007

K and I attended a wine tasting evening held by Fairview estate some months ago. Apart from their wonderful wines and cheese range, they decided to start a label that was less formal than the Fairview label - and in doing so, took a look at the wine growing regions of the world. Due to the goats that they have on the farm (for the cheese side of their business of course), and the famous wine growing region in the Rhone Valley of France - the Cotes du Rhone - they called the new label "Goats do Roam". Needless to say, they got into a bit of trouble for doing this, and had one or two legal issues with the French Wine Authorities, but I guess they must have been allowed (or determined) to keep the label - as I found this bottle in a wine shop the other day.
