ANCIANO RESERVA
Valdepeñas, Spain
Too old to run in the Derby but this five year old wine is released
at just the right age, having shed the frivolity of youth but
not so old to have become stodgy. This Reserva Tempranillo strikes
the right balance.

ANCIANO GRAN RESERVA
Valdepeñas, Spain
Old guys rule! Never mind failing eyesight, a weak arc on your
jumper and sagging body parts, some great things come with age.
Like the sophisticated flavors and mellow wisdom of this Gran
Reserva. Youth is overrated.

EL BURRO
Cariñena, Spain
Brevity is the soul of wine sales! Instead
of reaching for the tongue tying Marquesa de Estrella de Salamanca
de Arroyo Concepcion grab a bottle of El Burro. This juicy Garnacha
is easy on the tongue. Double entendre intended. And you won’t
feel like, well, an ass, when asked what you’re drinking.
Because pronouncing ‘oenophile’ is hard enough!

MANGA DEL BRUJO
Calatayud , Spain
Shazam! The “Wizard’s
Sleeve” is magical. Cooked up by our own sorcerer Norrel
Robertson (He’s actually a winemaker, but Sorcerer sounds
cooler). This sophisticated effort blows the doors off most
southern Rhone wines. Nary a flaccid note in this baby.

PALOS
Castilla y Leon, Spain
A laser beam of Verdejo fruit from Castilla Y Leon in Northern Spain, along The Pilgrimage route of Santiago de Compostela. That’s the burial site of St. James to you heathen non-Spanish speakers. We make no claims as to its ability to bring St. James back from the dead, but the bright purity of this native Spanish grape could have you ascending a bit higher off your chair at dinner.

PAPA LUNA
Calatayud , Spain
Holy Papacy! This Garnacha/Syrah
blend from ancient bush vines by our winemaker/MW/friend Norrel
Robertson pays homage to Pope Luna, the last of the Avignon
Popes, born near the slate vineyards in Calatayud. This beauty
could bring you to prayer or rethink that sobriety vow.

PICO MADAMA
Jumilla, Spain
You’d have to wear through

this beast from Jumilla inspire shock and awe from aficionados,
reviewers and Joe consumer alike.
