WBW #7 – Obscure Red Grape Varieties

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Wine Blogging Wednesday #7 was announced last week, but I've had family in town from the mainland, prying me far from my keyboard. Duties as tour guide, cook and guest house proprietor all took precedence over writing. Now that the family is safely back on a plane, normal life can resume. Enough about me, let's talk wine.

Hosted by Andrew at Spittoon.biz, the Wine Blogging Wednesday theme this go around is Obscure Red Grape Varieties. Think of it as your chance to pass over the Pinot, to skip the Syrah, to miss the Merlot. (Okay, that's getting silly.) Step out and try something totally new. Andrew provides a list of specific wine varieties too mainstream for consideration, as well as pointers to a number of other good options. Go out, find your obscure red and write about it by March 9th.

Cool theme for this month. I may try to participate this time around!

Jonathan, you should! Even if you decide in the end not to write about it, the experience of intentionally trying and thinking about a new wine expands how you perceive it.
