WineLA Presents: RHÔNE WARS | GRENACHE VS. SYRAH

Wed, January 15, 2020 (6:00 PM - 9:00 PM)

Cost: $75 to $125

An unlimited Rhône-style wine tasting and lively competition where you'll cast your vote to determine who wins 1st prize! With top producers in attendance, experience Grenache in various styles and incarnations accompanied by signature La Brea Bakery creations - appetizers, bread and cheese stations, all to the tune of live DJ Mr. Potato Head.

Silent auction benefits The T.J. Martell Foundation, funding Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Grenache has cultivated a fanbase in Southern California and is planted extensively in Santa Barbara (especially Ballard Canyon) and in Paso Robles where styles are more concentrated and inky, with typical notes of cinnamon, berry fruits, and white pepper. Often described as being similar to Pinot Noir with a powerful tannic grip, it's a great wine to pair with BBQ braised meats, stews, and other hearty dishes!

No wine glass is safe when Grenache is involved, and don’t forget your toothpaste… your teeth may never be white again!
