Another true great value here. Temperanillo DOC Rioja. I am blown away by this producer and his effort. I had simple nacho platter with an organic salsa. This was a very nice pairing. Incredible balance for a $14 wine. Not an easy find so I apologize, but wanted to share. Beautiful ripe cherry, subtle earth and cigar box, mushroom. Finish that lingers and dissipates so elegantly.

Was awesome with my homemade Spicy Cioppino Seafood Stew and White Peppered Naan.
