Other grape varieties..

Okay, so we are all familiar with the merlot, cabernets, and sangiovese grape varieties. How familiar are you with other red wine grape varieties?

My wife and I tried a Barbera the other night at Bravo and it is an excellent red wine. I would say the flavor had more depth and flavor than a merlot, but not as rough as a cabernet. The tannins were well balanced making for a pleasant experience.

Another wine we have found that we enjoy is a proprietary blend called "meritage". We had this again Friday evening and really enjoyed it. We orginally stumbled onto this wine at Finn Valley Wionery in Michigan and loved it. Now we keep a look out for it whenever we are out. Th only other place we have found it was at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival this past spring and there was only one retailer selling it at a ridiculous price. We are so happy that we found it Friday evening. We bought a couple of bottles and went to a friend's house and enjoyed sharing it with them. We go back to Finn Valley in a few weeks and it will be our annual stocking up trip. They also have a Tramminnette that I LOVE.

So, what other wine varieties have you tried and enjoyed?
