**I have uncovered a few new details on the internet about The International Colloquium on Rhône Varietals.
I have not managed to track down a copy for myself.**
The event’s speakers’ notes and documents were translated, compiled, then published as a book by the Monterey Institute of International Studies - now the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS) - in collaboration with two individuals (Jean and Anne Waddier).
The 156-page The International Colloquium on Rhône Varietals was provided with an OCLC Control Number, instead of bearing the traditional International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Copies theoretically could be located via the WebCat site by students and library patrons across the nation. However, it is unlikely that many copies of this text exist.

The Americans pivotal in organizing the 1990 wine conference were Robert Haas (Vineyard Brands & Tablas Creek Vyds), Richard Keehn (McDowell Valley Vyds), and Bruce Neyers (then-winemaker at Joseph Phelps Winery).

“Robert Haas, Influential American Vintner and Wine Importer, Dies at 90”
by Patrick Comiskey
March 20, 2018
“…In 1991, Haas organized the International Colloquium on Rhone Varieties, an unprecedented meeting between French Rhône producers and the dozen or so producers of Rhône varieties on American soil, to compare notes, methods and markets. It led to lasting transatlantic friendships and channels of cooperation that continue to this day.”

Created for Rich’s 40th High School Class Reunion, 1995”
“…Rich also served as director of the Vineyard Foundation, the Wine Institute, and as a delegate to the International Organization of Wines and Vines (OIV) during 1983, 1984, 1990, 1993, and 1994. In 1990 he was co-chairman for an International Colloquium on Rhone varietals in Napa, a conference of 22 producers from the Rhone Valley and 23 from California.”
