*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Another country whose wines I don’t drink that often. A shame too, there are lots of good, well priced wines coming out of Spain. Not to mention, after I moved on from my early days with Riesling, I went straight for Albariño, in particular [...]

Grape number 79 in my quest to reach the Century Club number of 100! Only 21 more to go…and I think I have 5 more new ones to try kicking around my cellar. I’m like the little engine that could…I’ll get there at some point, no rush, slow and steady. It is getting harder and [...]

I purchased this wine a few months ago in a 6 pack of interesting wines I ordered from Domaine547 in my search for different things to review. The wine was a 2006 Dehesa Gago Tempranillo from Toro, Spain. The wine cost me $12.99 (a steal), had a real cork closure and clocked in at 14.5% [...]

I purchased this bottle from Domaine547 for $14.99, it had a real cork closure, comes from Spain, and clocked in at 13.5% alcohol by volume. I got the recommendation for this wine from Jill, the [...]

Our host for this month’s Wine Blogging Wednesday is Michelle of My Wine Education. The theme she has chosen is two-fold, our wine choice should first be from Spain, and second, it should fall into the $10 and under category. Bonus points if you get a wine not from Rioja, in order to think outside [...]
