Bodegas Tintoralba ‘Higueruela’ 2005
~$9US, Mostly Garnacha, Almansa, Spain
This is one of those wines I had to take a chance with: Nothing on the label was familiar whatsoever, no varietal, an unknown DO, a few curious and almost unpronounceable words, and RED SPANISH WINE in all caps. At 8 or 9 bucks and the shop’s... (more)
Bottle-aged Sherry?
Hello, Justin here.

Anthony at Boccaccio Cellars has been raving about this, so I thought I’d better give it a run. The comeback vintage of 2001 was a big hit, and the 2004 is on a similar level. So, I line up the 2004 and 2001, along with the 2004 Roda Reserva after Griff’s call that this is a... (more)
From the Cellar: Marques de Riscal Reserva 2001
I’ve had a couple of emails and comments asking how this is traveling, so I cracked one open with the 2004 to see what is happening in the bottle. Very prosmising at the moment, with more to come in a couple of years. If I hadn’t seen these side by side, I would have never noticed... (more)
Another very cool Spanish wine label: Balcon de la Villa, Toro 2006
Another example of the fun the Spanish are having with their wine labels. This one is from Toro, in the high plains on the north west of Spain with the horns playing on the Spanish for bull.
