This shop is usually pretty good on price, better than the prestige retailer in the city, Surdyk's.

So my price was actually $9.40 or something. But I clicked on the wine-searcher link and found it currently available in NYC for as low as $9 from a store with free delivery (with minimum order) so it pays to shop around! <BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Tyler Terry –

Certainly there are PLENTY of NY retailers who work on a full 50% markup (or even more sometimes!!) but fortunately there are some who mark-up less...Maybe you should be the Cincinnati Wine Closeout Center and undercut all your competitors? <BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-Tyler Jens –

I bought some at Union Square Wines for considerably more--like Jens' price. Where did you get this delicious wine for 9.99?

Jorge Ordonez probably sells a case to distributors in Ohio and NY for the same price--does the retailer in Ohio mark up more? The distributor? Or both? <BR/><BR/>Have fun at the Cinci Bengal Bodega Hey Jens –

In Ohio it is $14 so it is not as compelling as a "great" value but very good. As to Grenache versus Tempranillo, I give Tempranillo a nod but I like big bad wines.<BR/><BR/>jens at cincinnati bodega de vino I have not tatsted the 2004 but have enjoyed the 2003.
