As a postscript to my last entry….let it be known I left out one of my favorites. I love Tablas Creek down in Paso Robles….they are a classic Rhone Ranger. Tablas is a California base for a famed Rhone producing family, the Perrins, of Chateau Beaucastel. One of their blends, Cotes de Tablas is smooth and delicous and I am convinced you will enjoy this example of a Southern Rhone-style wine produced in CA.
