Digging into Rhone Wines with the Rhone Rangers

November 18, 2020 by BettyKaufman Leave a Comment

Since I’m really looking forward to The Rhone Rangers’s upcoming webinar on White Rhone wines, I decided to devote this article to the Rhone Rangers, a wonderful non-profit dedicated to promoting American Rhone varietal wines. In case you’re not familiar with the Rhone wine region, it’s in the southeast of France, just above Provence.

Can You Find Red Wine in the Loire Valley?

But truth be told, I can’t think of what red wine grows there. Time to do a little Google research to figure things out. Thank you to LoireValleyWine.com, WineFolly.com and WineTraveler.com for their help with this article.

Ready to hear something amazing? China is the second largest cultivator of wine grapes in the world – just after Spain – and they are seriously focused on expanding and refining their place in the wine world.
