Rhone Rangers: A Grape Escape ~ led by: Bob, The California Wine Dude

Saddle up for a flavorful ride with California Wine Dude Bob, as he introduces us to the Rhône Rangers—a spirited nonprofit dedicated to championing Rhône-style wines grown in the U.S. This class puts the spotlight on GSM: Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—three bold, expressive grapes that come together in beautifully balanced blends.
Originating in the sun-drenched southern Rhône Valley of France, these varietals produce wines that range from juicy and fruit-forward to earthy, spicy, and full of structure. You’ll taste everything from silky Grenache and smoky, peppery Syrah to rich, meaty Mourvèdre—plus learn how each grape contributes its unique character to the blend.
While these grapes have deep roots in France, they’ve also found thriving new homes in California, Australia, and beyond. Bob will guide us through the flavor profiles, tasting notes, and perfect pairings for GSM blends—whether you’re sipping a supple Côtes du Rhône or a bold Paso Robles red.
Join us for an unforgettable night of Rhône-inspired discovery—the cost for this wine tasting class is $45 (wine club discount allowed) and reservations are required, so call now to reserve your seat! (904) 217-4751
