Every once in awhile I do a tasting of 'hidden gems' at my wine shop. Recently I included Insolia, Scheurebe, Xinomavro and Malagouzia. The wines always go over well at the tasting, but when the leftover wines go on the shelves nobody buys them.
Sorry to hear about the poor sales, but how cool that you do that. I love Scheurebe and Xinomavro. I'd love to see Greek varieties planted in Napa Valley. I'm not aware of any. Where's your shop?
There are plenty of wineries producing obscure varieties. At Benessere, we are the only Napa Valley growers of Sagrantino, Teroldego, Nero D'Avola, and Falanghina (so far as we know). And to date we are the only producer of Napa Valley Aglianico. We also have Vermentino. Come explore!
