But he said three different "varitals", I took it as varietals. Pinot,
Cab., Syrah. Three different varietals. Maybe I misunderstood ?
Sure you go to a place and order three Cabernets it may be hard to
distinguish. There is a good chance that all three will be similar
blends using the same wine making techniques, etc, bought my the same
guy because they are the same, what he likes.
There is also a lot of wine being "Parkerized". Made in a similar
style because it is more likely to score bigger points with the wine
critics.
