150+ Wines! Rhone Rangers Tasting This Weekend in Sonoma includes Biodynamic Wines
Four Biodynamic wineries will be pouring
A certain contingent of Rhone Rangers have been stalwart fans of certified biodynamic farming since the group started, with these producers punching above their weight (percentage wise) when it comes to how they farm (and get certified, too). From Cowhorn, Lindquist Family (formerly Qupe) and Tablas Creek's estate wines to newer entrants like Troon, the force is strong.
This Saturday, the Rhone tribe will descend in Sonoma for their annual grand tasting, celebrating Rhone pioneer Steve Edmunds at a dinner Friday night (hurray, I'll be there and writing about it), and then pouring 150+ wines on Saturday at Cline.
Come to the dinner to hear remarks from Bill Easton and biodynamic pioneers Bob Lindquist and Randall Grahm (one of the original biodynamic evangelists) as they pay homage to Edmunds, one of the earliest to recognize and work with the quality of grapes from Rhone growers in the Sierra Foothills.
Here are the folks with biodynamic certified estates to look for:
