Description

This is olive oil, roasted lamb, rosemary and thyme France - and the wines are made to stand up to those bold flavors. Come explore with us A B O U TThe Rhône region is unlike the landscapes most of us picture when we think of France and yet is is quintessential Gallic: rugged terrain, wild herbs, colorful villages perched on craggy ranges, endless rows of fragrant lavender. This is olive oil France, not butter France… and its wine’s reflect this charming rusticity. The landscape is a product of the powerful Rhone river as it empties into the Mediterranean just adjacent to Marseilles. The vine-covered interior is dominated by two regions: The Northern Rhone, home to haunting and smoky Syrah perched high on Limestone soils; The Southern Rhone, a more varied landscape whose center makes the storied wines known as Chateauneuf-du-Pape and various other smaller sub-regions that make heady, full-flavored, red-fruit-soaked leather scented wines from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. In this seminar we discover France’s Wild Country and discuss the various regions and sub-regions of France’s most rambunctious wines and compare and contrast wines from the northern reaches of the appellations as well as some of the crown-jewels of the southern Rhône not to mention discuss the region’s rare whites.
