($8, Vineyard Brands): As wines from the Côtes du Rhone appellation increase in price, producers look to less acclaimed nearby areas for similarly styled wines at lower prices.   This wine from Côtes de Ventoux–simple but luscious–fits the bill as a satisfying Southern Rhône wine.  Lighter and less spicy than a comparable Côtes du Rhone, it is a terrific everyday wine to accompany hamburgers. 86 Michael Apstein Apr 17, 2007
