And to think that the Argentine peso is the rare currency to have declined against the US dollar! John,

Wow, that is incredible–3x the price!

And to think that the Argentine peso is the rare currency to have declined against the US dollar!

I searched many wine & spirit shops in Middle Tennessee to no avail, until I stumbled upon the 2006 at a brand new shop in Franklin, TN. (For those unfamiliar with the area Franklin is, for the most part, tres upscale -- lots of country celebs live in the area.) My excitement was tempered by the price -- $19! I explained to the owner about your experience, he said he'd check with his distributor. I'll jump on it if I can find it for less.

Panarroz Jumilla ($6) ain't the best wine I ever had, but for the price is really hard to beat. This Spanish gem has some nice cherry fruit and a decent finish for a cheapie.

When I asked a new local wine store for his six best under-$10 recommendations, Colonia Las Liebres 2006 was one. It was the first bottle I tried, and I agree with you, at $6.00 (his sale price), It was an amazing value. I rushed back to buy another half case. A few days later, I found it in another shop for $4.99, and cleared out their stock (sadly, only eight bottles).<BR/><BR/>Last week I located eight bottles of the 2005 out-of-town, and asked a friend to pick them up. I look forward to seeing how it compares with the '06. I was so happy to see your post.

I made the trek up to PJ's in upper, upper Manhattan and scored a couple of bottles. At 4.99, I wasn't expecting much, but this stuff tastes like...nothing (crickets). "Gulpable" is an apt description, but i'd rather slap down an extra fiver and get something with at least a smidgen of character. I’m a big fan of your blog and so jumped on this one.
