54 bloggers from around the world took the challenge to “go native” and taste a wine from an indigenous grape from its homeland. See the summary of the off-the-beaten-path wines over at Dr. Vino. [UPDATE: Thanks for the participation--this appears to be a new record number of participants! A record achieved without steroids!]

And the next Wine Blogging Wednesday has been announced at Catavino: Portuguese table wines! They have some suggestions to steer you away from the more traditional wines and continue the new tradition of “bonus points.” Check out the assignment for October 10!

The justification is the 37th edition of the internet wine juggernaut known as Wine Blogging Wednesday and our theme is to “go native� and try an indigenous grape variety!
