Compared to Loire, S Africa prob due to warmer climate, has more pear, green apple, w tinge of nectarine.Swartland more complex compared to costal region interesting wine. Rare Lacrima grapes fr Marche. My first red aromatic wine. Distinct aroma of flower, vanilla fragrance. For asian, do remind me of our local dessert Bandong. Acidic, moderate body .the fresh aromatic on palate last quite a while. the Blanc fr Alsace surprising complex, w a strong mineral taste that compliment well w Jap food/ sashimi interesting native grapes fr sicily.so Pinot noir like georgian wine.  Mendoza region. Fresh black fruits of berry/ cherry + spicy  quite a while to taste a Carmenere. The history behind how this grape varietal ended up n thrived in Chile is just amazing. Fr Tesco, acidic n moderate tannins w fresh red n black fruits of berry n plum.  My first Albarino fr Rias Baixas, a cooler ...

US wine- fr " cult" wine to other varietals/ regions
