September event to highlight wineries from throughout the USA.
The Rhone Rangers invite you to join moderator Larry Schaffer, Vice President of the Rhone Rangers and owner/winemaker of Tercero Wines, for a complimentary Rhone Rangers webinar highlighting Grenache wines from throughout the USA on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, from 4:00pm – 5:15pm PT.
"The heart of the Rhone Rangers organization and its members is education, and this Zoom is a great example of this. We will have six wineries represented - from Ojai, Paso Robles, Lodi, Sonoma, and Southern Oregon - featuring Grenache, the main red grape of Chateauneuf du Pape and one of the most versatile of the Rhone varieties. We will have various examples of wines made with this noble variety - from a sparkling Grenache to three red Grenaches highlighting very different geographic regions," noted Schaffer.
Featured Rhone Rangers, their wines and regions include: Chris Kern of PasoSecco Winery (2023 Sparkling Grenache Blanc - El Pomar District, Paso Robles), Carl Bowker of Caliza Winery (2023 Grenache Blanc - Paso Robles), Christina Lopez of Acquiesce Winery & Vineyards (2023 Grenache Rose - Mokelumne River, Lodi), Kathy O'Leary of Long Walk Vineyard (2021 Grenache - Rogue Valley, Oregon),
Adam Tolmach of The Ojai Vineyard (2022 Grenache - John Sebastiano Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills), and Sam Coturri of Winery Sixteen 600 (2021 Grenache - Rossi Ranch, Sonoma Valley).
