Our wine is for drinking, not worshipping. After all, the best wines are not the most expensive, they are the wines that bring you the most enjoyment at the right time and at the right price.
Wine Varietals & Regions
Many wines, particularly those produced in countries like Australia, New Zealand, the United States or Chile, are labeled according to grape variety. While there are thousands of different grapes grown around the world, most wines are made from one or two of just a dozen or so major varietals.
The specific region within a country in which they were grown and produced distinguishes other wines, especially those from France, Italy and Spain. WineStyles' inventory includes wines of almost every variety from countries and regions around the world.
For centuries these are the ways wines have been identified. For the consumer, this does little to hint at how the wine actually tastes. For example, you might love a crisp, refreshing California Chardonnay, but a rich, oaky, buttery California Chardonnay would disappoint you. They are both California Chardonnays, but they taste worlds apart.
If you select wine only by the grape or only by region, you may mistakenly choose an earthy medium-bodied mellow when you're really looking for a full-bodied bold. Both may be great wines… but what is your true style and taste?
