Alicante bouschet has been a neglected grape in California for the past 20 years or so. Papagni used to make one that would take the tarpaper off a roof, and I mean that in the best sense.

And to Thom, there are some nice muscadine wines out there, but none that are widely available commercially. It also helps if you grew up with a muscadine vine in the backyard; the scent of the wine can instantly throw you back in time.

FK, say it ain't so!!! Have you tasted any of these wines???? I'm thinking yuck cubed. I'll opt for being unpatriotic and pass on the s and m.
