"I was struck by Sue Tipton’s later-in-life winemaking story and the thoughtful focus on white Rhône varietals — Acquiesce, named for surrendering to where life takes you, produces standout picpoul blanc, roussanne, grenache blanc, and a 'belle blanc' blend that are instant obsessions. Importantly, hers is one of the few tastings in the region that includes a genuine, seasonal food pairing developed through a rigorous monthly tasting session with her husband Rodney, assistant winemaker Christina Lopez, and culinary director Rebecca Forrest." - Laura Smith Borrman
