Ep 319: How to Get Great Rhône Wine with Serge Doré, French Wine Importer

<p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Serge Doré is a fan favorite and he returns to tell us about the place in France where he feels most at home: the Rhône. He's been in wine for decades, since he got his start in his native Quebec, and has been a wine importer and wholesaler out of Chappaqua, New York for almost as long as he's been in wine. To order any of the wines he mentions or those you find on <a href="https://www.sergedoreselections.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Serge Dore Selections</a> , go to <a href= "http://www.grapesthewineco.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Grapes The Wine Company</a></span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><a href= "https://www.sergedoreselections.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/serge-dore-selections-1.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="167" /></a></span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We've learned about life as an importer and about the business of wine in Bordeaux from Serge, and this time he tells us about the Rhône. If you are unfamiliar with the area, I'd check out the Rhône overview show first. This show goes into detail on regions and Serge regals us with stories of meetings with famous producers, and the spectacular wines they make. </span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The show notes this week are primarily a list of the many producers Serge mentions in the show.</span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p class="gmail-MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span style= "font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Big Northern Rhône Names:</span></p>
