What Should I Try Instead Of...

Sometimes I get the question of "well I like (insert varietal here) but I want to try something different. What do you recommend?"

Well, I have read that if you like Cabernet Sauvignon, you might like a Petit Verdot, a Petit Sirah or Nero D'Avola.
If you like Merlot, Cabernet Franc or Carmenere might tickle your fancy.
If Pinot Noir is your style, perhaps a Grenache would satisfy your craving for something different.
Those that like Syrah or Shiraz might enjoy a Zinfandel or Tempranillo.

I'd like to do side by side taste tests to see how similar these are to each other, ought to be interesting. A veritable "this or that".
