4 Lesser Known Wines You Must Try

Air Date: Wednesday, March 6th 2024

Listen to the Podcast!

Do you find yourself drinking the same wine all the time? 

Even as a wine enthusiast, I’m guilty of this myself! 

And while I know how easy it is to gravitate towards the same wines, I’m here to help you find some fun and interesting new wines to try!

Today, I’m introducing you to 4 of my favorite wines that aren’t quite as well known…but they must go on your list of new wines to try!

From the spicy Grüner Veltliner and refreshing Soave to the fruity Mencia and earthy Carménère - get ready to discover amazing new flavor profiles! Find out what my go-to bottle of wine when shopping at a wine shop or while out to dinner is, how to pair these wines with food, and so much more!

In a world where it is so easy to stick to the familiar, I hope you will try one of my favorite lesser known wines that I mentioned today. When you do, please send me a DM on Instagram and let me know which one you tried!
