Gaudium Gran Vino Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — a month ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego I really dig your reviews. Love your turn of phrase and prose that comes at describing wine from a different angle. Really connects. Keep it coming! Also, your Delectable handle begs to be looked up. Found your video with HospitaliTV - just finished. I really enjoyed your thoughts on half bottles and customer approach. Wish we lived even close to San Diego, but if we ever visit we’ll be sure to stop into Mister A’s. Cheers!

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2015

Has the 2015 and it must be decanted… after 2 days decanting it was lovely. Zing and texture were back. — 20 hours ago

Gran Vino Pazo Barrantes Rías Baixas Albariño 2020

Somewhat rounder and not quite as dry as some other albarinos out there. Very pleasant balance between fruit, acidity, alcohol and small remaining hints of sugar. — 13 days ago
