Spain

Monte Oton 2008 Garnacha Spain

Well, based on the bottle blurb, these folks have a slightly higher opinion of this wine than I do. A serviceable wine for for $7, but not exactly noteworthy. Maybe they were talking about some of their other higher priced wines.

Manyana 2008 Tempranillo Spain

It’ doesn’t come across as your typical Tempranillo, so you may not be shouting “Manyana” from the rooftops

Domecq NV Sherry Spain

A likeable sherry and the price is right too. Although the bottle says chill it a bit, I really enjoy more when it's closer to room temperature.

DrySack NV Sherry (medium) Spain

A sherry that falls somewhere in dryness between Alfonso Oloroso Seco (a very dry one) and the Solara 1847 Oloroso Dulce (rather sweet). With this wine leaning heavily toward the Alfonso, no matter what the label says.

Vino Borgia 2008 Grenache Spain

It tastes good. I can see whiling away an afternoon and a bottle at the same time or just having a glass with a hearty lunch. And I believe Jorge Ordonez is becoming my personal hero, as he selects some of the best cheap wines I know...
