If you like drinking good wine but you don't always want to pay a lot for it I recommend looking to Spain. With more acerage under vine than any other country in the world there are lots of good values to be found there. Grenache that's tasty and easy on the wallet is Spain's calling card. This week's wine is a 100% Grenache from Vina Borgia that comes from the Campo de Borja region of Spain is only about $7. On the nose it has dark berry smells, some raspberry and bosenberry coming throught the nostrils. It's got some definitely got some oak to it but it's not overpowering. The taste is smooth and soft with goodmouthfeel and mild tannins. You can use this wine to drink with food or on it's own as a sipper. This is really good everyday wine, if only more wine at this price point could be this good. I definitely recommend this wine not only as a tremendous value, but it's just good uncomplicated wine. This wine is a Jorge Ordonez selection. Jorge Ordonez is a wine importer/exporter who works very closely with the winieries he represents to bring a quality products. His wines also tend to be very resonably priced. If you see the JO symbol on the back label of a bottle of Spanish wine, you chances of enjoying the wine are very good. In my experiences about 9 out of ten of his wines are very enjoyable so look out for that JO.
