    4 Lesser Known Wines You Must Try

    4 Lesser Known Wines You Must Try

    Do you find yourself drinking the same wine all the time? 


    Even as a wine enthusiast, I’m guilty of this myself! 


    And while I know how easy it is to gravitate towards the same wines, I’m here to help you find some fun and interesting new wines to try!


    Today, I’m introducing you to 4 of my favorite wines that aren’t quite as well known…but they must go on your list of new wines to try!


    From the spicy Grüner Veltliner and refreshing Soave to the fruity Mencia and earthy Carménère - get ready to discover amazing new flavor profiles! Find out what my go-to bottle of wine when shopping at a wine shop or while out to dinner is, how to pair these wines with food, and so much more!


    In a world where it is so easy to stick to the familiar, I hope you will try one of my favorite lesser known wines that I mentioned today. When you do, please send me a DM on Instagram and let me know which one you tried!

    The Cork Crew Tasting Club is a community of people that enjoy drinking and learning about wine. It's like a book club...but with wine!

    WTF is Carménère? (Red wine find, great red wine alternative, mistaken for Merlot, a wine mystery revealed, who is Julien Miquel?)

    WTF is Carménère? (Red wine find, great red wine alternative, mistaken for Merlot, a wine mystery revealed, who is Julien Miquel?)

    Carménère is a wine mystery that is worth solving! Long mistaken for Merlot, and  from a wine grape many thought was extinct, Carménère is a wonderful red wine that we would definitely recommend you seek out! One of Chile’s great wines, Carménère is a fantastic red wine alternative for those of you looking to expand your wine horizons! We found it spicy and earthy with flavors like raspberry and matchstick. What?!? That’s right - and those are good things! We’ll tell you more about the history and mystery of this wine, the things we tasted in the wine, and foods we think would go well with it. And this year, Carménère Day is the same day as Thanksgiving in the United States! Which will you celebrate?!? Wines reviewed in this episode: 2018 Casas del Bosque Reserva Carménère, 2018  Viu Manent Secreto Carménère, and 2019  Los Vascos Cromas Gran Reserva Carménère.
