Wine drinking in 2009.

Braiden Rex-Johnson came up with a way to change how one drinks wine in 2009. I particularly liked number 1 in his list (closely related to number 2):

Try a new varietal once a week. We all know and love Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. But what about some of those unsung heroes such as Grüner Veltliner, Austria’s best-selling white wine? Or Rhône varietals such as Roussanne, Marsanne, or Mourvedre? Or interesting reds such as Tempranillo, Lemberger, or Dolcetto? Consider adding these to your repertoire.

What a great way to learn more about wine!
