Patrick Comiskey, the author of American Rhone: How Maverick Winemakers Changed the Way Americans Drink was recently interviewed by The Splendid Table and offered an expert guide to American Rhone wines with recommendations of many Central Coast producers, including our Tablas Creek Grenache Blanc.

"...Paso Robles wineries are in the spotlight again, winning accolades from national publications.
