A Premium Exercise in Blending
What is a Gigondas, Vaqueyras, or Châteauneuf-du-Pape? They are all blends as well as wine regions in France’s southern Rhône Valley. For this class we will not be going to France but staying local as the Rhône has found a home in Paso Robles, California.
Seven wines will be tasted, featuring the acclaimed wines of Tablas Creek and L'Aventure. In this “Escape” you will be lead through a component tasting of the principal red Rhône varietals; Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache, along with Tannat, a varietal from France's southwestern appellation of Madiran. You will enjoy a hands-on blending exercise and discussion with each of you creating your own blend and then comparing it to the “real” blends. When was the last time you got to play with a beaker and enjoy tasting the results?
