Let's be real, everyone can tell the difference between red and white, but what are the differences between each variation of wine?
Lets start with some reds
Merlot : Known as a smooth red. A great intro to new red-wine drinkers. A very common red to buy and you can never go wrong if you gift it!
Cabernet Sauvignon : One of the best and largest known variations of red wines. Known all around the world and very popular among people of all ages.
Pinot Noir : I feel that Pinot Noir is only appriciated if you really appricate the taste of wine. I know many adults that really enjoy Pinot Noir, but I am not one of them yet. I feel that to enjoy Pinto Noir, you need to purchase a decently priced bottle to please your taste buds.
Shiraz : Personally, I have never gotten into Shiraz, but when I went to Spain, I thoroughly enjoyed a red blend that incorporated a lot of Shiraz in it, so throughout the next couple months, I will definitely include Shiraz into my wine experiences.
Zinfandel : One of America's classic Red's, Zinfandel is usually made in California. It is a very dark red, almost a black color.
Next come the white's
Pinot Grigio : Probably the most popular choice of white, Pinot Grigio is a simple white wine choice. Something you can never go wrong with.
Chardonnay : Personally, I compare Chardonnay to Pinot Noir. They are in the same shape of a bottle and Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc : This is my all time favorite wine to drink.
I like it because it is very light and its taste just matches perfectly with my taste buds.
Riesling : One of my least favorite whites. It is known to be very sweet
White Zinfandel : To be honest, White Zinfandel reminds me of the first time I got drunk at a wedding with my family when I was 16, but it is very popular. It wouldn't be MY first choice but White Zinfandel has a very fruity, light taste that is perfect for the summer and warmer weather. It is also a good choice to include in a sangria.
