It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass!

Welcome to the next episode of Winephabet Street, where we take you on a fun and educational journey through the world of wine—one grape at a time! Today, we’re diving into the letter ‘V’ with a rare and intriguing Rhône variety: Vaccarèse!

Joining me is a true Rhône Ranger, Jason Haas of Tablas Creek Winery—one of the pioneers of bringing Rhône varieties to California. Tablas Creek is the only winery in the U.S. cultivating and bottling Vaccarèse as a single varietal, so who better to guide us through its history, characteristics, and potential in the glass?

We’ll explore how this grape fits into the Rhône family, its role in blending, and why it’s such an exciting discovery for wine lovers. So, grab a glass, get comfy, and let’s talk Vaccarèse!
