Wines of Southern France: Hosted by Lyle Railsback of France+Western
Get ready for a journey off the beaten path. Joining us in The Tasting Room on August 5th is Lyle Railsback, founder of wine importer France+Western. Lyle is passionate about wine, seeking out unknown wines from small growers in France, Italy, and Austria, and then championing those wines here in the U.S. This tasting event is perfect for those wine lovers who are hunting for the treasures of the wine world’s nooks and crannies. Lyle will be tasting our guests through wines from Southern France. Most of these bottles will be exclusively available to attendees.
