For our September 22 Moroccan dinner, we wanted to offer you a special wine we do not normally carry. It is the Syrocco Syrah 2022, a collaboration between legendary Alain Graillot and Thalvin Winery. Here is the story about the winery:

Syrocco was founded by the late, legendary Rhône vigneron Alain Graillot, and now run by his sons, Maxime and Antoine. Alain stumbled upon these vineyards and the Thalvin winery while bicycling in the Zenata region of Morocco between Casablanca and Rabat. This gorgeous area is an organic dream, with cool winds blowing off the Atlantic and no polluting industries whatsoever. The Thalvin winery has been around since the 1920’s, and when Alain found their gorgeous property, he formed a partnership with them to provide Syrah vines for his own Moroccan wines. Maxime and Antoine craft these wines as a fruit-forward and juicy, yet they are made in an Old- World style with soft extraction, excellent balance, and complex aromatics.

If you would like to order a bottle of the Syrocco Syrah for the dinner, we will offer it at a special price of $39 (normally $56). Please click below on the wine to add it to your cart. How often will you get the opportunity to enjoy a Moroccan wine?

You can also pre-purchase a glass (or more) of the Syrocco Syrah for $15 per glass to have at the dinner in addition to the wines we will be providing (a Spanish sparkling, a French rosé, and a Spanish red) for the dinner. Just add it to your cart right below.

Pickup will be at Steve's; we will have your bottle/glasses ready for you at the dinner.

 

 

While on a cycling trip in the Zenata region of Morocco, legendary Rhône vigneron Alain Graillot stumbled upon the gorgeous Thalvin winery completely by chance....this opportunity led to Alain partnering with the winery to create Moroccan Syrah with his own Old World sensibility. The ‘Syrocco’ cuvée is elegant and sunkissed, with tasty dark fruit and complex aromatics — a great “gateway” wine for someone looking to broaden their horizons!
