The oenophile's latest alphabet

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal. Why are there 27 entries when the English alphabet only has 26 letters you ask? Read on and find out. Here is Singing the ABC's of Wine, an updated glossary.

My favorite letter this time around is the entry under the letter T. I was introduced to this wine in Montevideo many years ago by a friend who promised me I would not be disappointed when he ordered it at dinner. He was right. Since that evening I have loved Tannat. In fact I have a bottle sitting in my cooler waiting to be ingested. It's a wonderful red from a small country which produces outstanding wine.
