I regret to inform you that you drink quite a lot of Tempranillo - in Portugal it is known as Tinta Roriz and is one of the more common grapes used to make Port.Bryan Robinson wrote:As for current grape that is widely used: Tempranillo

For me it's probably Merlot - I just find it really boring.

There are probably a lot of port grapes that I wouldn't like as varietals, but I haven't been fortunate enough to to try very many of them on their own. I do make an effort whenever I get the chance.Glenn E. wrote:I regret to inform you that you drink quite a lot of Tempranillo - in Portugal it is known as Tinta Roriz and is one of the more common grapes used to make Port.Bryan Robinson wrote:As for current grape that is widely used: Tempranillo

Re: What is your least favorite wine grape or type?
Sometimes I like a grape just fine when it's part of a blend, as opposed to on its own. I had a cheap glass of a Spanish wine (from the Jumilla region) the other day that featured Monastrell, but also had some cab and merlot blended into it. I liked that just fine, but if I drink a 100% cab or merlot, that's another story.Bryan Robinson wrote:There are probably a lot of port grapes that I wouldn't like as varietals, but I haven't been fortunate enough to to try very many of them on their own.

Re: What is your least favorite wine grape or type?
Bryan, you can count me in the number that likes Tempranillo. In fact, I love it! I'd say that it ranks as my second favorite varietal behind Pinot Noir. We all have different palates... Eric, like you, I think that Tinta Roriz is also a big reason as to why I gravitate to Port.Bryan Robinson wrote:I read the other day that it was now the 4th or 5th most planted grape on the planet, so lots of people must like it. I just don't get it.Eric Menchen wrote:Now on this I must disagree. I had one California Tempranillo that was a real eye opener, a good number of Spanish ones, and I think Tempranillo is one of the reasons I like Port so much. Now my experiences are limited, and I do wonder if it is starting to suffer as a fad grape.Bryan Robinson wrote:As for current grape that is widely used: Tempranillo
