Chardonnay – Someone who orders a glass of chardonnay without even looking at the wine list -elegant, powerful, self assured.
Gewurtztraminer – Adventurous wine drinker, because with a name like that it has just got to be good.
Godello – You choose this wine because it sounds like a place would like it could be a religious experience.
Malbec – Someone who likes meat and dreams of being a ‘Gaucho’.
Mencia – Choosing this grape would indicate that you are a person who is knowledgeable about wine, unless of course you come from Bierzo where Mencia is grown.
Merlot – The opposite of a Pinot Noir drinker.
Pinot Noir – a hint of sophistication, elegant and discreet dresser, bit of George Clooney, probably likes reading art magazines.
Riesling – Stands out from others, distinctive, loved by many yet whose qualities are often not appreciated.
