As we enter 2011 here are some trends to look for in the coming year.
Malbecs from Argentina are still hot.
Carmenere from Chile will be one of the next grapes to see influx of. Brought from Bordeaux over 100 years ago, it’s no longer common in Bordeaux.
Root beer & cotton candy are next in the flavored vodka segment. Root beer floats to be a cocktail we will see.
Obscure varietals such as Ruche & Grignolino, etc. from Italy will make some head way.
Micro brewed beers are still gaining steam & fans.
New Zealand’s sauvignon blancs will continue to see their rise and the emergence of NZ pinot noirs may give other pinots a run for their money.
