Welcome to the latest installment of Wine Wednesdays with Adam! Each week we'll explore some of my favorite wines and what makes them stand out from the crowd. This week, we’re looking at my favorite lesser-known varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir... these varietals have dominated the US wine world for quite some time.

Minerality and certain other wine qualities that give the impression of saltiness – such as the presence of lees during wine aging – also tend to complement the briny-sweetness of oysters.
