Welcome back wine nerds! 

You have probably heard of Cabernet (... franc?) and you have probably heard of Sauvignon (... blanc?). Actually, I know you have heard about them because they are the main topics of at least two shows already; but what about the greater family of Cabernet and Sauvignon? How does Carmenere fit in? 

This is our ramp up to a three part series on Bordeaux, so let's get to know some of the grapes that make some of the world's most famous wine. 

My favourite resource for learning about grapes and grape origins is: 

Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz
