September 19 is International Grenache Day — observed on the third Saturday of September. Grenache, also known as Garnacha in Spain where the variety originated, is one of the most widely planted red grapes on earth. It’s the dominant grape in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a key component in Rioja, and it produces wines ranging from light and fruity to rich and full-bodied. Old-vine Garnacha has become a category of serious collector interest. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted lamb and a long slow cook. The old vines make the wine. Open one tonight. 🍷
