Difficulty Level: Deep Dive
If you haven't explored the New Grenache lately, you're in for a treat, and likely a surprise––this incredible grape, once known chiefly as a blending ingredient and a symbol of the warm-climate fruit bombs of the 2000s, has entered its freshness era. It turns out that Grenache has a few unique tricks up its sleeve: miraculous old vines around the world, a climate-change-resistant growing season, the ability to show complex flavors even when picked early enough to retain acidity, and shockingly lovely structure, once you take it out of generic blends and give it a solo act in the right environment. We will focus on single-varietal Grenache bottlings from around the wine world and discover why top growers are falling in love with the versatility, beautiful flavors, and aging potential of this grape. 

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, February 4 and run for approximately 90 minutes. Wines tasted in class will be available for purchase with a discount available to attendees only. Seating is limited.

Her roles since then have included wine (and beer) writer and editor, vineyard worker in Southern Wisconsin, retail buyer in Chicago, harvest intern in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and communications/education manager for Willamette Valley Wine.

A Mediterranean Paradise and its Emerging Talent: Mallorca's Cati Ribot

Not too far away from buzzy Ibiza, the Spanish island of Mallorca is home to one of Spain’s most dynamic young winemaker, Cati Ribot. Cati’s father planted international grapes like Chardonnay and Cabernet (it was, after all, the ‘90s). But after a stint working as a somm in Barcelona, and getting the chance to taste wines from all over the world, Cati realized the potential of her small Mediterranean island and its unique indigenous varieties. And so, they said adios to the French varieties and began planting varieties like Escursac, the local Malvasía de Banyalbufar, Girò Ros and Prensal Blanc.

Picture-Perfect Terroir: Two Single-Vineyard Rossese from Liguria

Regions like Burgundy and the Mosel are by-words for terroir. Part of the thrill of discovering those regions is exploring the subtle shifts in a wine that tiny changes in soil, slope, and exposure can make. But Burgundy and the Mosel don’t have a monopoly on that sort of terroir magic, as Giovanna Maccario’s two Rossese wines prove.
