Last week I joined the Rhône Rangers. This week they sent me an invitation to a tasting event, part of their Grand Tasting weekend in San Francisco, March 27–28. The session, Grenache: Red, White, and Pink, will be moderated by San Francisco Chronicle wine editor Jon Bonné and will explore Grenache as a varietal wine, in all its splendid colors.
I won't be anywhere near San Francisco this weekend, but the Rhônely crew has partnered with BrixR to stream the session live from 2:45–4:00 PM PDT, and to offer playback later. And they've also produced this tasting pack—eight 50ml bottles of the wines they'll be pouring—so we folks in the hinterlands can taste along.
