Rhone Rangers

A while ago, we joined The Rhone Rangers, America's leading non-profit, educational organization dedicated to promoting American Rhone varietal wines.

The website, http://www.rhonerangers.org, has much useful information about Rhone varietals.  Here's just a sample of what they have to say: 

The Grapes
In France's Rhone Valley, there are 22 grape varieties including the better-known Syrah and Viognier, to the up and coming Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Roussanne, to the truly obscure (but delicious) Counoise, Bourboulenc and Picpoul. What's more, most of these grapes play well with others, and blends are often the most exciting of all.

We enjoy working with Rhone varietals, and you'll find our offerings of Rhone wines to be exceptionally good.  Take a look at them all!
