Obscure Varieties Site

I just stumbled upon this Site:
FringeWine

when I was researching Pelaverga afore tasting. Some guy
named Rob Tebeau up in Boston. An amazing stash of information in his blog. Worth bookmarking.
Anybody here know Rob???

Tom

Cheers!

Great blog

Hi Tom -

Thank you for the link. Although I do not know Rob despite living in the same general area as he does, I certainly share his interest in seeking out wines from lesser known grapes and regions. I found his blog very interesting, and hope to meet him at some local wine event in the future.

Pelaverga Grossa or Pelaverga Piccola?

Pelaverga Grossa or Pelaverga Piccola?

Well...you'll have to tell me, Oliver.

Maybe one of your wines?? Think it's RareWineCo. Their Site doesn't say.

Pelaverga Piccola. (The other one is if anything even more obscure.)

I love Pelaverga, interesting range of flavors and very useful weight. We are finding people are much more open to light-to-middleweight wines these days, maybe the Sideways effect.

Besides Burlotto, Fratelli Alessandria also makes a nice Pelaverga. I have also tried a Pelaverga from Ascheri called "do ut des il Gusto della Solidarietà"- it was nice, but probably just a bit behind those two in my book.
