Specialty Wine

Specialty wine is a catch all category for "special" wines, for lack of a better term. Examples could be from anywhere, even the Congo in Africa; one wine from there has tropical fruit flavors that taste more like Hawaiian Punch than wine; it also has a light peppery edge with light tannins. One can only imagine what other "special" wines are out there.
