Sierra Foothill Grenache Shines per W&S Magazine Panel

Thank you to wine industry promoter and friend of EDWGGA, Lee Hodo, for forwarding this link to a February 2020 Wine & Spirits Magazine article which includes an excellent take on Sierra Foothill grenache. Lee strongly encourages Sierra Foothill winemakers to send samples of their Foothill-grown grenache to wine publications as “many of our own winemakers are making beautiful examples of this variety.” The link to the article is below.

W&S Magazine quote: “The Sierra Foothills isn’t the only region where California grenache has emerged from behind its gaudy veil of alcohol and fruit. But, as this tasting showed, it may well be the most distinctive in this moment. And, it may serve as a bellwether, a place where terroir expression is destined to show itself, now that these talented practitioners have taken on the task of revealing it.”
