Originating in or close to Northern Spain's historic Aragon region, the ancient Garnacha grape (Grenache in French) is one of the true kings of the Mediterranean.  This Saturday, we'll visit some of its contemporary capitals in both its Spanish homeland and adoptive France.  We'll begin in the western Languedoc for a taste of the famously fresh and aromatic white skinned mutation of the grape, Grenache Blanc.  Next, we'll journey southward to Navarra, where we'll encounter Garnacha immersed in one of its favorite hobbies, being vinified as pretty & pink rosé.  We'll remain in Spain for our third wine of the afternoon, a bold red from Catalonia's Montsant.  Finally, we'll find ourselves in the Southern Rhone's Lirac (just across the river from Chateauneuf du Pape), where we'll taste a brand new Grenache/Mourvedre blend brimming with spice and inky dark fruit.  Garnacha Guaranteed!
