The French have championed this grape in the Southern Rhône Valley but it’s original home is Spain! COMMON SYNONYMS: Cannonau (Italy), Garnacha (Spain), Garnatxa (Spain), Grenache Noir, Alicante (Rare) A BRIEF HISTORY OF GRENACHE Grenache originated centuries ago either in Sardinia (where it is known as cannonau), a Mediterranean island off the southwest coast of Italy, or in northern Spain, in the region of Aragón (where it is known as aragon or garnacha). By the 1800s, grenache was grown in France’s Rhône Valley as well as the southern Languedoc- Roussillon region. In the early 1900s, pest-resistant grenache vines were planted in Rioja after many vineyards were destroyed by the Phylloxera aphid. Grenache has had its ups and downs in popularity during the last century. In the 1980s, a few growers in California who were fans of Rhône wines reignited interest in the grape. In the 1990s, a quality revolution occurred in Priorat, where Spanish garnacha is blended with cariñena to make powerful, age-worthy reds that achieved global renown. The flip side of this trend is that many acres of grenache have been uprooted as part of the European government’s effort to decrease the amount of inexpensive wine made from varieties like grenache, which can produce low quality fruit if growers don’t tame the vine’s productivity. Our monthly Grape of the Month wine dinners include a custom-crafted four- or five-course meal with specially picked single varietal wines included. Prices vary based on menu and the varietal selections that month. ​Our wine dinners always promise an unmatched fine dining experience. The evening’s wines are selected by the /pôr/ wine house own and sommelier and seamlessly paired with each delectable food course freshly prepared by the skilled hand of our Executive Chef. Our event staff is gifted in guiding our guests through each food course and wine selection to ensure a deep appreciation of subtle flavor nuances in every bite and sip. Often, Chef will join the fun by describing the preparation of a particular food item. Each wine dinner offers a perfect blend of education and enjoyment.
