What are you drinking right now?

BBQ'ed some home grown Pork Butt Steaks last night.
They were delicious and fully complimented by a bottle of 1991 Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Vieux Telegraphe.
This Rhone wine is usually a mostly Grenache blend.
It had a good cork and a rich clean nose. It was smooth and drinkable, probably the best of the old reds I am slowly discovering in my "cellar."
I was first introduced to this appellation by a friend of my mother's when I was in college. He would order it whenever he saw it on a wine list and I remember all as very good.
This was my only bottle and I bought it from its importer, the wonderfully named Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant in Berkeley, Cal.
Looking on line this morning turned prices for this wine at $75-$100, with 1990's about twice that.
I hope it is as good today.
