You Do!&nbsp;<\/strong>Most people don\u2019t know that they enjoy Grenache every time they open a bottle of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape or most Southern Rhone wines from France,and many ros\u00e9s from Provence, too. GSM (Grenache Syrah Mourv\u00e8dre) from the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale in Australia, as well as Aragon or Priorat wines from Spain are also Grenache. In the United States, you can find Grenache in scintillating selections from Santa Barbara, wild and wonderful wines from Washington State, and power-packed Paso Robles reds.&nbsp;<br>Search for<strong>&nbsp;#GrenacheDay<\/strong>&nbsp;in your browser to discover this not-for-profit social media phenomenon with thousands of events at wineries, restaurants, and wine shops in 30+ countries, as well as a flood of posts, tweets, chats, and other engagements by wine lovers.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>#whodrinksGrenache? Top winemakers do!&nbsp;<\/strong>They love blending this grape which reflects its deep-rooted terroir in every sip or embracing its starring role qualities as a single blend. They appreciate that it\u2019s a climate-change warrior with long roots reaching down to the water table instead of relying on rainfall or irrigation.<br><br><strong>#whodrinksGrenache?&nbsp;<\/strong>Wine connoisseurs who welcome its velvety and voluptuous mouthfeel and complexity.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>#whodrinksGrenache? \u201cI do,\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>exclaim more and more people around the world who have come to appreciate its sophisticated taste, which pairs so beautifully with foods ranging from grilled to spicy and ethnic foods. Grenachistas near and far enjoy it as a ros\u00e9 for an aperitif, a white Grenache with starters, a fuller red with the main, and a fortified or sweet wine with cheese or dessert.<br><br><strong>#GrenacheDay Fun:<\/strong><br><strong>Join the conversation with #GrenacheDay and post your photos and videos on&nbsp;Twitter&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grenache_global\" target=\"_blank\">@grenache_global<\/a>, Facebook&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/535274247757055\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GrenacheSymposium<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/grenache.day?utm_medium=copy_link\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/strong><br><strong>Download a #GrenacheDay image&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.grenache-association.com\/grenacheday\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GrenacheSymposium\/<\/a>&nbsp;to email to friends, post on your social media, or create an invitation.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeff\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#GrenacheDay\u2026 for Grenache lovers everywhere! #GrenacheDay\u2026 for Grenache lovers everywhere!What makes Grenache\u2026\u2026 THE PERFECT PARTNER for food pairing?\u2026 THE COMFORT GRAPE with its velvety, voluptuous mouthfeel?\u2026 THE GRAPE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN, growing where olives grow?
