Aquí en España es casi imposible encontrar nada y hay que buscar en subastas a precios imposibles. En todo caso arrancar estas viñas blancas es un disparate. Un cordial saludo

Yeah that bottle was stored on the cellar floor for some time and so the label got a bit moldy. This was the first wine I bought en primeur and that was my last bottle of that case :-)

Look to Merlot red with sweet tannin or Chateauneuf de Pape in ripe vintage that go well young. My wife can do Right Bank Bordeaux blends that a Fronsac and primary on the fruit with silky tannin, but she will never enjoy it like I do. She doesn't like really sweet dessert wines, but she tolerates my love of the grapes. She loves Riesling and Chenin as much as I do, even dry. I almost forgot Grenache wines that aren't weedy, she does enjoy a glass of once in a while too. The food makes a big difference as she usually opts for poultry, but loves a steak from beef now and again.
