I've been into Spanish wines lately, particularly Tempranillo. Incredibly smooth, although my HT doesn't have the best selection.

I'd like to start ordering from online sites.

Please let us know how it goes. I am have so tempted to go but haven't gotten there yet.

Will do. The blurb in today's Post says you get four tasting tickets and you get to keep the glass; the tour is around 20 minutes. I'll report back either tomorrow or Sunday.

The mods justifiably moved my comments to the beer thread....see there if interested.

BUMP

I've been getting more and more into wine these days. Local grocery just had a big clearance and I snagged a couple bottles of $36 Aussie shiraz for $10.79. There are a lot of good wines from South Africa now, too... chenin blanc, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, pinotage. Mulderbosch Rose for $9 is the only rose I need.
