Wine Drank by John Jaster
I went from tea totaler to Wine Century Club member and have tried 156 different wine grapes in three years.
Entry for April 3, 2007

Continuing with Spain.


1) Vinos Sin-Ley G-2 Garnacha 2005 (Spain).  This was recommended by a store as an alternative to Las Rocas old vine garnacha and it falls far short of that mark.  It's not a bad wine, just not extraordinary, and for a brand which basically means wine without law I thought this tasted more like a boy scout of a wine than an anarchist.


2) Panuelo Tempranilla Grenache 2002 (Spain).  Another alternative to Las Rocas which doesn't compare.  HOWEVER, I genuinely like this wine, I consider it a value worth repeating, and was really pleasantly surprised.  It most reminds me of a chianti.


You know there were three wines I was recommended when I couldn't find Las Rocas anymore.  M4 and Vinos Sin-Ley were the two pricier choices and neither impress me.  Panuelo was the cheapest of the 3 and I think it's a nice find.  I recommend Panuelo.


And I want to add at this point I've tried 5 different Spanish wines and none were bad, 3 were ordinary but still drinkable, 2 I thought were very good.  Viva Espana.
