True to the spirit of the Wine Century Club, there was a great deal of variety in our wine drinking over our long weekend in NYC.
If you’re drinking a Buttafuoco*, Dzhani*, or Ehrenfelser* chances are you may be a member of the Wine Century Club. To join the club, which is celebrating its 1st birthday on Friday, March 17th, you must have tasted at least 100 different grape varieties. It was founded a year ago by Deborah and Steve De Long for adventurous wine drinkers everywhere.
What do you get when you cross the great port grape variety Touriga Nacional with the most common table grape variety Thompson Seedless? Tarrango!
There are obscure grape varieties, there are strange grape varieties and then there is Scuppernong.
If you watched Mondovino, you know that Robert Parker is a Supertaster and his palate is insured for one million dollars.
Statistically, Airén is the most outrageous wine grape the world has ever known. Many wine guides and sites still refer to it as the most widely grown wine grape in the world, although it has been recently surpassed. . .
