The Rhône Revolution of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA with Sonja Magdevski

ATX Somms Presents: The Rhône Revolution of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA Join ATX Somms on Monday, April 13th, for a compelling seminar with Sonja Magdevski of Clementine Carter Wines, a pioneering voice behind the Rhône movement in California’s Sta. Rita Hills AVA. In this focused, one-hour session, Sonja will explore the “quiet revolution” taking place in one of California’s most distinctive coastal appellations. While Sta. Rita Hills is widely celebrated for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and a small but dedicated group of producers is redefining its identity through Rhône varieties. Sonja will share insights into site selection, climate influences, farming philosophy, and the stylistic potential of Syrah and other Rhône grapes grown in this cool, wind-swept region. Attendees can expect an in-depth discussion of terroir, viticulture, and the evolution of Rhône varieties in a region traditionally associated with Burgundian grapes, side by side with Old World examples. Space is extremely limited. Secure your seat for this rare opportunity to hear directly from a producer shaping the future of the Sta. Rita Hills. This seminar is ideal for sommeliers, wine professionals, and serious students seeking a deeper understanding of California Rhône expressions and the dynamic future of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. PRICE: $15 for members, $30 for non-members
