($12, HB Wine Merchants): You have just found your summertime grilling wine!  Pech-Latt is one of the star producers in Corbières, one of the Languedoc’s most important appellations.  A blend of Grenache (30%), Carignan (30%) Syrah (25%) and Mouvèdre, it transmits the sun and spice of the South of France.  The magic is a beautifully balanced combination of bright fresh fruit flavors and herbal nuances at an extraordinary price.  A touch of charming rusticity adds to its appeal.  Buy it by the case–your guests this summer will be pleased you did.
