Choose your preparation track
You do not need to buy every comparison wine. Choose the track that matches your time, budget, and interest.
- Sample A places: Bourgogne, Sancerre Rouge, Willamette Valley, Tasmania, or Central Otago; ask for freshness, moderate alcohol, and restrained oak.
- Sample B places: Russian River Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, Santa Maria Valley, or a broader California appellation; ask for riper fruit and fuller body.
- Place is a shopping clue, not a sensory guarantee.
- Use the diagrams and tea texture references without wine.

Taste responsibly: small pours, water, food, and spit cups are sensible equipment. Never build transport plans after the bottles are open.
