Rhone Ranger Wine Class Last Night


Last evening we enjoyed several great wines at our wine class. This week's topice was Rhone Rangers. These are wineries whose focus are the great varietals (Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, Roussane and Petit Sirah) of the Rhone valley in France with am American twist. We sampled Nickle & Nickle, Dyer Vineyard 2005, Sonoma Coast Vineyards 2004, Pax, Walker Vineyard, Russian River 2006 and Shafer, Relentless 2005 from Napa Valley. Shafer was the favorite of the evening paired with our Duck and Foie Gras Meatballs. Marriage made in heaven...
