OK, I admit that this is a very vague request, and obscure is a relative term, I suppose.
I am hosting a wine tasting party in 3 weeks, and I wanted to do something a bit different for my contribution this time. In the past, I have gravitated towards mid-range things like Ridge Lytton Springs, Bollinger NV, Chateau Gloria, etc.
This time, I want to bring something that I can be sure that nobody has ever had. I don't know what is available in Maine from such places as Switzerland, Luxembourg, or other small countries, but that's the sort of thing I'm looking for. I tried to find some Z de l'Arjolle (zin from the Languedoc), but was not successful.
So along those lines, what are some relatively obscure offerings that are also at least possible to find in the States with a little effort? Maine and NH are equally accessible for me, in terms of distribution, if that helps.
