From our friends at The Grill Room...
The Grill Room, located within the Rosewood Washington D.C. at 1050 31st Street, NW, is pleased to debut its tax relief wine special beginning on Tax Day, April 18th, through the end of April. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy Télégramme by Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, a standout wine from Châteauneuf du Pape in Southern Rhone, for a special discounted price. Known for their wide range of drinkability and common characteristics of fresh red and black cherries, strawberry, black pepper, black raspberry, and spice, Châteauneuf du Pape wines also have a unique history of taxation which helped create a unified, superior product and eventually set the standard of wine making throughout France. Normally $25 a glass and $98 a bottle, this delicious wine will be priced at $15 a glass and $60 a bottle, and available during lunch service daily, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and dinner service Sunday to Thursday, from 5:30 PM to 10 PM and Friday and Saturday, from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
Châteauneuf du Pape was the first wine region in France to set down laws to protect the quality of their wines. In 1923, Baron Le Roy was the driving force behind this and he was concerned that fraud and low quality wines were hurting the image of the region. He set in place standards that would cover everything from where the grapes were planted, what grapes were permitted, yields, harvest times, and winemaking techniques, which would later be the blueprint for all French wine laws known as the Appellation d’origine Controllee or AOC for short. Though these laws were widely accepted, one taxation stood out and was met with the most resistance. It required farmers to not use at least 5% of the grapes that were harvested for wine production. This tax was meant to ensure only the best grapes would be made into wine. Despite the tax being highly disliked and commonly referred to the tax as “Le Râpé” by grape farmers, wine lovers can agree each glass of Châteauneuf du Pape is better for it.
