Château des Nages - http://www.chateaudenages.com/en/chatea ... e-pear.php
and
Château Grande Cassagne - http://www.grandcruwinesltd.net/winemak ... ssagne.htm . This incidentally is from the site Grand Cru Wines, the UK mail order business of Liz and Mike Berry, the former owners of Kensington's La Vigneronne, which was my absolutely favourite wine merchant. Grande Cassagne was, and probably still is, a real stand-by.
These are sturdy and tasty wines from Southern Rhône varieties, which however never in my experience quite attain the magic of really good Côtes du Rhône or Côtes du Rhône Villages.

Thanks for the suggestions Tim. Chateau des Nages shows up frequently here in Ontario and I have had it, I think. I don't recall seeing the Grade Cassagne.
