Observations

[Thomas]

The phrase "as much as" is intended to cover that variance, but I have to admit I was thinking mainly of the New World when I referred to the blending rule.

Whenever someone talks about grape varieties I assume the conversation is not about European wine--even though I know that the Europeans are sending us so-called varietal labels these days.

I also assume that when someone finds European wines taste similar--especially from separate regions and/or countries--that someone is likely tasting the International style, even if the wine is named regionally.
