Complex Tribe
Welcome to the Complex Tribe. You appreciate big, bold, complex flavors. You know what you like–the darkest of coffees, chocolates and beers are for you. Stinky cheese? Yes, please.
You prefer dry, full-bodied red wines with mild to pronounced tannins, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah—and you might also consider a Barolo or left bank Bordeaux blend, too. If you’re looking for a change of pace during the summer white wine season, consider a dry Riesling from the Mosel region of Germany or bold Viognier. Here are some wine recommendations that others in your tribe love. Cheers!
