Try any Red "Marques De Grinon" (Valdepusa Region), particularly any of their reserves. Absolute nectar...

I do not have the list for those interested in finding good Spanish wines...perhaps you kept it. Hope so!

Tip for Spanish red wines (which tend to be excellent values compared to domestic and other European):

Chill the red more than you normally would. They tend to be served at a cool cellar temperature. A 75F spanish red will generally be unpleasant.

My daughter dragged me to Pike Place Market last weekend

My daughter couldn't do that. Traffic is so bad in Seattle, here in The Peoples' Soviet of Washington, aka The Evergreed State, that months pass between my visits to Seattle, a few miles to the west. Just a small side-effect of the libs' refusal to build roadways -- if your business is in Seattle, you don't get my business (unless you're really, really exceptional).

(We now return you to the main topic...)

Trader Joe's has Charles Shaw for Two Dolla a bottle.

The August issue of Smart Money has an article entitled A Rosé of a Different Color about Spanish rosé. The authors consider them to be superior to the American brands and cheaper than the French ones. Four wines listed were Enate Rosado ($12.99), Gran Feudo ($6.63), Marqué s de Caceres ($6.99), and Vega Sindoa ($7.99).

A rep from the distributorship poured samples at DeLaurenti's and really knew his stuff.

If I went there My daughter would end up 'dragging' me back home.
