Pop's birthday is coming up, and since I was struggling to find him a novel gift (what do you get someone 80+ that he doesn't already own) I thought he'd appreciate several bottles of wine and maybe find them from the regions of the world he'll be hitting on his Mediterranean cruise come Fall. Question is "How do you even begin to select a winner?" and then I remembered this book I downloaded and thought I'd browse it for some answers. Book ended up having some great ideas as I read through Chapter 2 "How to Recognize a Good Wine", Chapter 7 "Well Known White Grape Varieties", Chapter 8 "Well Known Red Grape Varieties" and Chapter 9 "What You Really Need to Know About Appellations" (the last section being one I'll need to brush up on again.) For those wanting something about history, health benefits/risks, fortified wines, serving temps, food pairings, etc there's that, too if you're interested.Anyways, wrote down some pertinent info like trying for varieties with around 12% or less alcohol for more balanced flavor, read the back of the labels to see if they were coming from the right regions of the countries I was aiming for as well as looking for popular varieties and then went into my local Friar Tucks armed and ready. Spain and Italy turned out to be easy picks (thanks to the book!) France I spent more time than I wanted (should have read more) and while I wanted a Sauvignon Blanc from Greece it was unavailable so I settled on a good quality domestic.If you're curious as to what I bought, I ended up with the following varieties:2010 Crianza by Principe de Viana, Spain blended Cabernet with Tempranillo & Merlot from Navarra region 13.5% alc $13,99 per bottle2012 Chianti by Cecchi from hills of Tuscany, Italy 12.
