Winemaker's notes:

Get off the beaten path with these alternatives to traditional wine varieties! Author Mark Oldman will guide you through a treasure trove of delectable, lesser-known wine with his best selling Oldman’s Guide to Outsmarting Wine ($18 value). Six wine gems recommended by Oldman are paired with the book Bon Appètit called "winespeak without the geek."

The "Hidden Gems" in this collection include:

Spicy, nervy Gewurztraminer from Trimbach of Alsace
This Gewurztraminer exhibits a luscious aroma of lychee fruits and spices. It is rich and intense.

Sexy, flavorful Primitivo by A. Mano
Hand-crafted from indigenous Primitivo grapes, this wine bursts with dark, spicy ripe fruit.

Malbec’s blackberry hedonism from Argentina’s Gascon
Offers intense black fruit and red plum aromas, along with smooth and concentrated tannins in the mouth.

Sassy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc by Babich
A powerful yet balanced and refreshing wine, with a textured palate that explodes with fruit.

Juicy Cru Beaujolais of Chateau de la Chaize Brouilly
Rich in fruit aromas that are mimicked by concentrated and powerful fruit flavors.

Piedmont’s fruity savior, Michelle Chiarlo Barbera d’Asti
A charming, succulent wine marked by ripe plum and strawberry flavors underscored by a crisp acidic note.
