An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2003 Villaroya de la Sierra "IA" Garnacha (Spain)
A GREAT buy! Got this Spanish Grenache for only $4.26 at Spec's Warehouse on Smith. Deep ruby color. Nose has scents of ripe raspberry, pine forest, and talcum powder. Simple but satisfying and relatively robust flavors of cherry-raspberry fruit and stones. Good, clean, soft finish with very nice balance. A real steal in a ridiculously cheap everyday or party red. 86.
