Good suggestions. In CdP, I'd add Font de Michelle (good pricing), Domaine
du Pegau (a personal favorite) and (though I've never been there) I'd try to
get in to Clos du Caillou -- they're doing some great things these days.
Ch. Beaucastel is also worth a visit if you want to see the closest thing to
a CA tasting room to be found in those parts...
