Hello, Feastlings.
In the Rhône, it might be called Gigondas, or Lirac. It could be a Rasteau or a Vinsobres. But as the classic combination of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre has entered the wine lexicon of the broader chunk of society, people generally refer to it as GSM. This Saturday, September 26th, we’ll be tasting California iterations of its component parts, and then tasting the assemblage of all three varietals as well. It’s the last Saturday of the month, so you can expect the usual end-of-month version of our tastings: three-ounce pours, food pairings, and the charm and wisdom of your hosts, Emilie and Chris.
If you’d like to join us, the tasting begins at 2:00 pm, and you can reserve your spot by calling us at (520) 326-9363. The tasting runs $55 plus tax and tip, and affords you a discount on the wines. You can check out the tasting order, pricing and food pairings here.
We’d be delighted to see you.
