I wasnt trying to be sarcastic...the two main red grape varietials that come to mind when talking about Spanish wines are Tempranillo & Garnacha...however, like Italy, some vintners have been experimenting and planting merlot...mostly used in Bordeaux style blends...and I've never tasted or seen a Spanish wine that is primarily merlot...

Very interesting. Might have to go up there and buy a second bottle.

Here's the bottle I dumped out tonight... corky.

2015 Deaver Ten Zin

I guess it's a good thing I had something else to replace it.

I'm heading to Argentina in a week...we were trying to get Chile in as well, but couldn't swing it time wise...I love red wines from these countries...

Malbec fan? I still gravitate toward a solid Zin, but love a good Malbec. Someday the wife and I will be able to travel the world and drink wine. Enjoy your trip. [emoji485][emoji485][emoji106]

There will be no shortage of Malbec where I'm going... or Cabs for that matter. Looking forward to drinking unfamiliar wines...

Cross posting because it fits two categories. Enjoying a Perdomo Estate Seleccion and, ready for this? A glass of 1934 Haut Brion Bordeaux from a bottle that was found in Eagle’s Nest. Aka a glass of wine that was in Hitlers personal collection from countries and regions he invaded. For those interested here is some history on the Eagles Nest invasion:

It came at a price...but well worth it.

Brute, I thought of you while consuming.
