\"Red<\/a>One trend that has already taken the wine world by storm and shows no sign of abating is America’s love affair with\u00a0ros\u00e9, dry ros\u00e9<\/strong> in particular.\u00a0 This trend is hardly new, but its continuing resurgence defies the pundits.\u00a0 In short, dry ros\u00e9 has become more than a trend and a summertime drink.\u00a0 It\u2019s no longer the stepchild of red and white wine but a bona fide wine category that now demands equal status with white and red wine.<\/p>\n

As for what is the best unknown wine out there just waiting to be discovered, it is likely the one in my glass, which could be almost anything from an aromatic, hauntingly delicious Kerner from Italy\u2019s Alto Adige to a Super Tuscan from Bolgheri or Maremma along Italy\u2019s Tyrrhenian Coast, or one of Argentina\u2019s super premium Malbec\/Cabernet Sauvignon blends that sells for a fraction of California\u2019s overpriced Cabernet Sauvignons.<\/p>\n

Napa Valley Cabernets, in particular, are overvaluing themselves. With the exception of a few dozen iconic Cabernet and Cabernet blends, it appears the bubble is bursting on California Cabernets selling for $50.00, $100.00, or more. Attempts to sell such wines \u201cquietly\u201d at substantially discounted prices have increased exponentially over the past year despite a recent string of exceptional vintages and a plethora of excellent wines. What are undervalued, especially in the premium category, are South Africa and South America\u2019s top reds.<\/p>\n

In the $12.00-$20.00 category, Spain\u2019s red and white wines<\/a> are frequently undervalued and remain veritable bargains, too. White Spanish wines from top producers made from Albari\u00f1o, Godello or Verdejo varietals can be purchased for less than $20.00 a bottle. And who can forget the many outstanding blends from Spain\u2019s Montsant or the thoroughly enjoyable Tempranillo-based wines of Castilla Y Le\u00f3n?<\/p>\n

The world of wine has always suffered from a split personality.\u00a0 Wine drinkers are presently in love with ros\u00e9 and at the same time enamored of bold reds<\/a> and in search of another lover.\u00a0 Merlot, after a makeover, appears to be on the rebound, too.\u00a0 Who knows what comes next from fickle palates?<\/p>\n

Salud!
