Garagiste

    (PICO Madama) Pico Dear Friends, The state of the wine business has never been stranger with wines selling in the US for half of what they sell for abroad and vice versa. There is no semblance to the system right now and you have to really pick and choose your spots to stay afloat. I remember 5-6 years ago when all of my friends used to buy their wine directly from retailers in Europe, Australia and elsewhere to save a fortune (due to the strong dollar - the prices were cheaper than wholesale in the US). With the weak dollar, that market has all but dried up and it remains to be seen where the tug of war will find itself in a few years time. If you like deals and you like wine that will appeal to a wide audience with its juicy fruit, depth and exotic spice tone (not to mention it’s from a great vintage), here you go. It is also priced on the low-end for this level of ambition. Is this the most traditional wine? No, but who cares (well, I usually care but this is so seductive for its style that I’m willing to go for the “oh just yum” just this once)... 2004 Pico “Madama” (Jumilla/Spain) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain9090
