Round 19 of Wine Blogging Wednesday announced

Wine Blogging Wednesday The next round of the world's favourite (actually, only!) bloggers' wine event has been announced by host Wine Expression.

The theme is to be the grapes of the Rhone Valley but expanded to include wines made from these varieties outside of France. That gives 22 different varieties to explore although I doubt many will be found outside of their homeland. I mean, have you seen a Terret Noir, Camarese, or Vaccarese from Australia or other new world country? Sadly, "no," I think the answer will be. But that still gives a huge number of wines to select from.

The Rhone Ranger site is a good place to start looking. It promotes Americas Rhone varietal wines listing producers and stockists and other background details. Grape varieties are also detailed supplying limited information on where in California they are planted.

I'm looking forward to this WBW round as I am a huge fan of the wines and grape varieites from the Rhone.

Perhaps this will help the Sweet keep up with the Vidalia.
