Great Introductory Wines

[AnnaMag Club Member]

Hi there! I am new to this forum, but I have been a wine lover for years, and I decided to do what I love for a living, so I work on behalf of a number of wineries. Working with wineries has given me the opportunity to taste a lot of different wines and talk to a lot of different people about wines, so I have a lot to share!

I have found that some great wines for novice drinkers are wine blends, which have actually become very popular over the past few years. So if you want to try a new wine, but are not sure which varietal to choose, blends are great options because they combined different varietals that complement each other nicely.

Some great ones I have tried lately are: Jacob's Creek Red Blend (from Australia), Graffigna Elevation Red Blend (from Argentina) and Dead Bolt Winemaker's Red Blend and Winemaker's White Blend (both from Napa Valley, CA).

To those of you who have tried blends: what are your thoughts? Do you prefer a single varietal wine or a blend?
