Still not sure what glass of wine to order? Hugo Lefevre of Eno in Washington, D.C., helped compile a simple quiz to narrow down which varietal might be best.
Our methodology: If you take your coffee with sugar, chances are you won’t be turned off by a sweeter wine. If you only drink lagers, you may not enjoy an in-your-face cabernet.
Once you’re done, remember to still chat with your server before ordering: Differences arise among varietals, and the way a wine tastes can vary significantly year to year depending on growing conditions.
