“‘Varietal wines’ are those that are identified by the grape. Even though there are hundreds of wine grapes, <a href="http://www.greatwinemadesimple.com/" title=":: Andrea Immer ::">Immer</a> likes to call the most popular ones the ‘Big Six.’ The whites are Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, while the reds are Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These help make up about 80% of quality wine in the United States. Each is distinct, with it’s own flavor, color, size and acidity.” <cite><a href="http://www.fineliving.com/fine/practical_living/text/0,1663,FINE_8068_14283,00.html" title="FINELIVING: Need to Know: Wine">[Fine Living]</a></cite>
