Oddball Wine of the Week Series
Below are links to each of the reviews in the Oddball Wine of the Week series. Oddball for me means an uncommon grape variety, an unusual blend, an out-of-the-way region, a variety in an unexpected location (French Zinfandel?) or an unusual production method. Now, I’m sure that a few of you will think some of these wines are not so odd (”I drink Australian Gargenega every week”), but I aim for stuff that I expect 9 out of 10 of you (and probably me, too) won’t have ever tasted. Enjoy!
