Memory Tips
- Two fortified wines: Sherry (Spain, white, varies in sweetness) vs Port (Portugal, red, always sweet)
- Two sparklings: Prosecco (Italy, pear/floral) vs Cava (Spain, apple/lemon)
- Clove = oak: Both Chianti and Châteauneuf-du-Pape get clove aromas from oak aging
- Vanilla = oak: Both Sauternes and Rioja get vanilla from oak aging
- White pepper: Côtes du Rhône's unique identifier among these wines
- Only sweet still wines: Sauternes (white) and White Zinfandel (rosé)
- "White" Zinfandel: Not white at all — it's a rosé!
