Celebrate the exceptional Rhône varietals and the people and wineries behind them as the prestigious Hospice du Rhône brings its message and mission to Blackberry Farm for the first time. Hospice du Rhône “represents and embodies the spirit of Rhône varieties and those who produce the wines made of these unique winegrapes.” These are some of the greatest producers in the world of wine and are sure to make for a rare gathering here at Blackberry Farm.
André Brunel of Les Cailloux in Châteauneuf du Pape, France, and Chris Ringland of Chris Ringland Wines in the Barossa Valley of Australia will headline this amazing and unique experience. These giants of Rhône will share knowledge and passion with guests, along with some of their most special vintages. Also sharing their Rhône varietals will be Paul Lato of Paul Lato Wines and Scott Hawley of Torrin Wines, both in California.
Additionally, guests will experience some of California’s up-and-coming stars. Joining these amazing wine producers will be Chefs Sondra Bernstein and John Toulze of the girl & the fig, one of Sonoma’s favorite restaurants. Bernstein is also the author of the “the girl & the fig Cookbook” published by Simon & Schuster in April 2004.
