2015 Bodegas Eguia

 



Great Rioja Reserva. Complex taste of berries, old leather, smoky hint in nose and taste. 

Was wonderful with grilled leg of lamb.

Update: it was sold by Costco under Kirkland brand, wanted to buy more but, well, they are out of it.

Opaline sparkling Rosé

 Bubbly from Trader Joe's. No vintage, no place of origin. The only info on the bottle: Pinot Noir and Product of France.

But! This is a pretty good sparkling Rosé. Light, crisp, with nice citrucy notes. A little bit buttery, wich I like in Bubbly. For the price ($7.99) it's great!

2017 Louis Bernard Cotes de Provence

Very good Rosé. True Provence. Honey, spices, just a hint of citrus.

Was very good with grilled shrimp.

Great Rosé from Luberon, region of Provence. Strong taste and nose of honey, with strong spices and a hint of citrus. 

Was great with grilled swordfish.

2015 Basilica Cafaggio Chianti

 

Very good Chianti. Sour cherry in the nose and taste, with a hint of licorice on your tongue. Was great with smoked salmon pizza.
