We know we can! We’ve Rhone’d more than most people probably should, but hey, we love our Rhones. That’s why we’re talking about Rhone wines…more importantly, “Hospice du Rhone” (HdR), and their April 2011 Event. Between now and then you’ll be hearing a lot about the event because it is in our top three favorite Central Coast shindigs. In fact, we’ve already mentioned HdR in a recent post…can you tell us which one?
The Hospice du Rhone event is held right here in little Paso Robles and is attended by wineries from all over the world. Last year, at the Grand Tasting, we tasted Rhone wines from South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, all the way back here to Napa and Paso Robles. This was a true Rhone wino’s fantasyland!!!
Our goal is to bring you some interesting information over the next few months leading up to the event; such as interviews with participating winemakers, sommeliers, and event coordinators.
Where you can find HdR:
