While Bordeaux and Burgundy get most of the hype, the wines of the Rhone River are some\u00a0of the best wines in world. Last November we tasted wines from the most prestigious appellations of the Northern Rhone, and in April we will taste wines\u00a0of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the most highly regarded of Southern Rhone appellations. Along with the high prestige of those AOCs come high prices. \u00a0But\u00a0there are many, many wines produced in the Rhone region, particularly the southern Rhone, and over the last few decades some of these villages have\u00a0been recognized with their own AOC designations, principally east of the Rhone, from the river to the Dentelles de Montmirail Mountains. \u00a0These\u00a0appellations are producing very good wines and at muc<br \/>\nh lower price points than their more famous Rhone \u201ccousins\u201d. \u00a0So, at this tasting event, we will\u00a0sample these other, lesser-known wines of the Southern Rhone region. \u00a0The most notable of these other AOCs are Gigondas and Vacqueyras, which will\u00a0be our focus, but we will also sample representatives of a few other appellations.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><b class=\"\">The Other Rhones: Southern Rhones from the Eastern Margins<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Saturday, March 12, 2016<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">7:00 pm<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Hosted by Jeff and Ann Clark<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"\">1909 E Rose Creek Parkway S, Fargo<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">$25 members, $30 non-members<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Please RSVP by Thursday, March 10<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France has long been regarded as the source of great wines.
