Rhone Rangers is This Weekend

A quick reminder - if you haven't noticed - the annual gathering of Rhone-istas, the Rhone Rangers, takes place this weekend at Fort Mason in SF. The usual organic gang will be there for tasting, including:

AmByth Estates
Beckman
Campovida (some are certified organically grown)
Fields Family (has one)
Landmark Vineyards
Morgan (certain vineyards only)
Qupe
Ridge
Tablas Creek

Since many of our best Rhone producers are from Paso or Santa Barbara County, the event is an excellent place to get acquainted with wines from some of our great producers - Beckman, Qupe, and Tablas along with AmByth (biodynamic) and Ridge are all wineries you should get to know.

Interestingly this is a special subgroup that has also often embraced biodynamics (AmByth, Beckman, and Qupe have done so).

Learn more about Rhone varieties and get event details at the Rhone Rangers web site.
