Answer 3

Chardonnay is a white white, usually sweet.  Cabernet is a red wine, tart but dry, definitely drier than merlot.

1.)  Kumamoto, Pacific, Virginica, Flat, Olympia.

2.)  Chardonnay and Pinot

3.)   Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carmenere.

4.) Ruby, old tawny, white port...

5.)  T-Bone has NY Strip on one side, Porterhouse on the other.

6.)  True champagne is named for the northeast region of France around the cities of Reims and Epernay and only comes from these regions.

7.)  Nigiri, maki, oshi, chirashi, nare, temari (all ending -zushi).

8.) Hmmm...Kale, spinach, escarole....

Not to stray, but here is an excellent question to add:

Did you know all Congacs are brandy, but not all brandys are Congacs?

Congacs are brandy specifically made in Congac, France (Charante region).  That is why they can only be titled as a Congac, while others are brandy!

It's good restaraunt trivia to know!
