Good for the $15 price. More cab franc than usual for this blend.

Dern good. Really plush. A bit unexpected given its professed French soul.

Monastrell, well made from Yecla, Murcia. €20 which is a good price

 

[Omega Male]

Always goes down exceedingly smoothly.

 

[ericgereghty]

REALLY dig the Elouans I’ve tried. Delicious juice.

Priorat, vintage 2007

 

[ericgereghty]

A touch more aggressive than Pinot.

This is becoming one of my favorite CA syrahs. Savory but not pushed too far to drink without food.

I’m a total shill for the SCM appellation. Try Big Basin Syrahs…killer stuff IMO but needs some age.

Vintage Cava is a bit overlooked, the 2013 right here is really good

 

[usctrojans31]

Cava and savory crepes are a shockingly good pairing

Been too lazy (or something) to post here lately but here's some recents. All wonderful. Had the Albarino last night with home made shrimp scampi and it was wonderful. That Yakima Grenache is a case buy. ******* awesome for about $22 I think.

 

[NJE66]

Have had a couple of nice Rías Baixas as well Vinho Verde alvarinho myself lately, clearly deserve more attention @Piobaire

Kicking it off today,

Yeah, I would say it is. In mother Sweden give or take €33 so good value for money. I drink 1-2 champagne every weekend and return to this one once every third month or similar. Maybe Palmer & co blanc de blancs is in the same neighborhood regarding price and standard for a all chardonnay. Blanc de noirs André Clouet is in a leaugue of its own
