- Popping Bottles by Lil Wayne and Birdman 

 

The wines of the Rhone Valley are some of the most famous in all of France.  The wines of the Southern Rhone Valley starting north of the town of Avignon with the new house of the Pope "Chateauneuf du Pape" whose wines are based on the Grenache varietal but usually contain several other grapes five of which are white!
The wines of the Northern Rhone are very different from the South as Syrah is the star of the show here.  The wines of Cote Rotie and Hermitage are rare in that the regions are fairly small and the top wines are made in minute quantities like Guigal's “La La” wines made from three of the top vineyard sites of the Cote Rotie region. 
The granite hills of Hermitage rise above the Rhone at Tain l'Hermitage where the river bends sharply to the east before resuming a southward flow. This gives the vineyards a direct southern exposure. Vines have been grown here since Roman times, and Pliney the elder wrote favorably about the wines of the region. The locals claim that vines were first planted here by Phocaean Greeks around 500 BC. Although the evidence is not conclusive, Greek coins and amphorae dating back to 500 BC have been found in the area.
From the hillsides of the Northern Rhone Valley Syrah/Shiraz has spread all over the world today and you can find outstanding examples on all corners of the globe today.  Tonight, we will put some of the classics up to some of the top Syrah based wines from all over the globe to see if the wines of the Northern Rhone still are supreme to all other versions of the Syrah/Shiraz made elsewhere.
The Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle 1990 and the 1995 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque alone are worth the price of admission, but we have 10 other top-level wines from all over the wine world on the table tonight.

I have included all the wines from the Northern Rhone Valley as well as all the other Syrah/Shiraz that are available in the store on this e-mail.  Chef Toni Lampasone will be making a special meal to accompany the tasting wines.  The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $325 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
