--- Quote from: Akima on 13 Mar 2014, 01:39 ---I feel a little like Jimbo when confronted with European wines. Australian wines are typically named after the grape variety from which they are made, so one has an idea what to expect, but what is one supposed to make of Châteauneuf de Pape or a German wine with a name as long as my arm?

Actually, the grape variety alone doesn't say much about the wine you get. The region of production, cultivation and harvesting methods, and vinification techniques play an important role too. Not to mention the year.

EDIT: oh, and it's "Châteauneuf du Pape" by the way.

Mr_Rose:
Look, as long as you never, ever try and order "French champagne" your sommelier will probably be overjoyed to tell you all about everything on the menu.

Pilchard123:
I must try that. Of course, it also means having a reason to go somewhere where it might come up.

jwhouk:
I have been there, Jimbo. I have been there.
