Marin Joe’s Special Selection of Limited Production Wines There are over 2,200 grape varieties in the world, and approximately 50 are considered “noble grapes”; the grapes used in winemaking. For centuries, European wine producers understood that the quality of the wine begins in the vineyard, planting the noble grape in the soil and climate in which it was best suited to grow. Over time, European wines began to be labeled geographically, depending on the grape variety and the area in which it was cultivated. In France, the Cabernet vine is produced in the Bordeaux area, and the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Burgundy area. In Italy, the Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto grapes are produced in Piemonte and the Sangiovese in Tuscany. In addition, the great wines of Europe come from small acreages. The first-growth vineyards of Bordeaux produce no more than twenty thousand cases annually from their estates. The production of La Romanée-Conti is so small that only one thousand to fifteen hundred cases per year are bottled depending on the vintage. In the United States, this concept of geographic labeling and single vineyard identification is in its embryonic stages. Both red and white wines should be complex - exhibiting more than one flavor and providing the palate with more than one opportunity to find comparable tastes in food. This sampling has divided the wines by intensity of body and flavor to assist you in selecting the wine that best complements the meal according to your preference.
