In today’s chapter from Culinary Approach to Wine In Restaurants (re https://substack.com/home/post/p-152379481?source=queue): It’s time to give Syrahs (beyond those of the Northern Rhone) their due as not just great wines, but also as wines of compelling diversity and multi-food versatility.

I’m so looking forward to this week’s #TablasCreek #InstagramLive conversation with winemaker Steve Edmunds! Steve, who just announced his retirement, is winemaker and owner of Edmunds St. John winery, one of the pioneers of the #RhoneRangers movement and this year's Rhone Rangers Lifetime Achievement honoree. Join us on the Tablas Creek Instagram feed tomorrow at noon Pacific.

I'm so looking forward to my #TablasCreek #InstagramLive conversation this week. Bill Easton, proprietor of Domaine de la Terre Rouge and Easton Wines, is a great winemaker, a passionate advocate for the Sierra Foothills, and the 2016 #RhoneRangers Lifetime Achievement Award winner. I learn something from him every time we talk. He was I hope you can join us tomorrow.

There was a lovely article this week in the #SFChronicle by Esther Mobley celebrating Steve Edmunds. He’s made soulful wines for 40 years, in a style that’s been consistent with who he is: thoughtful, understated, respectful of tradition without being bound by it.

I’m very happy #RhoneRangers will be honoring him with a lifetime achievement award this summer, and he’ll get the chance to see how much his work has meant to those of us in the American Rhone community.

@megmaker At Château des Fines Roches we tasted a 100% Vaccarèse #Châteauneuf. I mentioned that Tablas Creek bottled a #varietal Vaccarèse, and the proprietor said, I know, we've exchanged bottles. #wine #Rhône #RhôneRangers

Lovely wine, biodynamically farmed.
