Wines of Southern France: Hosted by Lyle Railsback of France+Western
Get ready for a journey off the beaten path. Joining us in The Tasting Room on August 5th is Lyle Railsback, founder of wine importer France+Western. Lyle is passionate about wine, seeking out unknown wines from small growers in France, Italy, and Austria, and then championing those wines here in the U.S. This tasting event is perfect for those wine lovers who are hunting for the treasures of the wine world’s nooks and crannies. Lyle will be tasting our guests through wines from Southern France. Most of these bottles will be exclusively available to attendees.
Named a “40 Under 40 Tastemaker” by Wine Enthusiast, Lyle’s has enjoyed a varied
career in the industry. After years of working in restaurants and as a sommelier, he
moved in wine distribution and retail, spending 14 years with legendary importers
Winebow and Kermit Lynch. In 2015, Lyle started making wines in California’s Santa
Ynez Valley with his brother, Eric, and then began importing wines under his own label, France+Western.
