Virtual Tasting Premier Host

CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PARTY!

Thu, October 29, 2020 (6:30 PM - 9:30 PM)

Cost: Free

Have you experienced the compelling wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape?

These gloriously rich reds, redolent of the heat and herbs of France’s southern

Rhône Valley, are blends based on Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, with up

to 13 grape varieties mingling in the festivities! Styles vary wildly depending

on the soil, cool sand vs. the warm, iconic rounded stones called “galets

roulets”. And the strong wind, if the Mistral is blowing through the vineyards, it

will keep your toes tapping. Add in the festive influence of our Party Planner

(the winemaker!), and each wine has unique personality to spare. Our Guest

List this evening will include four artisanal producers: Domaines Chante

Cigale (one of the region’s young rockstars), Domaine Charvin, Domaine

Usseglio and Château de La Font du Loup. The latter will be a rare white CDP

treat; owner winemaker Anne-Charlotte Mélia is always the life of the party!
