Wine & Words

Talk about bargains! I ordered a new supply of this one for our Feature just to make sure the price hadn't gone up like everything else. Nope. Still $8.50 a bottle from the makers of the stellar Tres Picos Garnacha that wins awards every year and sells for around $20. I've said it before…I love Garnacha (the grape that originated in Spain and was appropriated by the French, who call it Grenache). It's soft and grape-y and very easy to drink. This one can be poured into your old assortment of glasses while you discuss the Spanish sense of the tragedy of life…or chill it a bit and drink a few glasses with a friend late on the night of August 12, as you watch the Perseid meteor shower and think about your place in the cosmos. That's a lot of substance from a cheap wine!
