The Wines!

 ALVAREZ DE TOLEDO WHITE GODELLO

Clean pale yellow color. Nose fruity, persistent and elegant aromas. Good backbone on the palate.

 FESTIVO TORRONTES

Pale bright yellow. Fresh peach, white flowers and mint on the clean, vibrant nose; reminded me of viognier. Supple, fruity and dry, with the peach and floral flavors carrying through in the mouth. Finishes with a slight warmth but good lingering perfume

 

LOPEZ DE HARO RIOJA RISERVA

92 Points The Wine Advocate 
"The 2005 Hacienda Lopez de Haro Reserva is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% Garnacha aged for 20 months in French and American oak. It has a beautiful, rounded, sensual bouquet with hints of over-ripe Satsuma and gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of piquancy on the entry. It has crisp acidity and taut tannins on the dry, dusky finish but it remains extremely well-focused. Drink now-2025."

 

FLECHAS DE LOS ANDES GRAN MALBEC  

This hearty, sultry, spicy, mouth-filling dark-ruby wine offers raspberry, chocolate, dark liquorice and light oaky flavours along with soft tannins. Lovely floral lift with intense, smooth, chocolatey black fruit. Especially flavourful with a rack of lamb and full flavoured chicken and veal.
