Spanish Red

Hello Wine Lovers!

Sorry for the delay in my latest post but the holidays has taken it's toll on my time to write with all the parties and get togethers with family and friends has left little time. As everyone gets their shopping finished, their cards sent out, and their presents wrapped be sure and take the time to lite a fire in the fireplace and relax with this little number. Bodegas de Murcia, Caracol Serrano, from the Jumilla Region of Spain. This wine is deep purple in color with lots of dark berries and a touch of licorice and spices on the long smooth finish. This wine drinks like it is $20 a bottle and will only set you back about $8, which leaves plenty of money to spend on your shopping!

By the way, Bodegas simply is the same as Chateau would be used in French wines. Don't let the name scare you, go into your favorite shop and ask for Caracol Serrano from Spain. If the guy (or gal) looks at you like your crazy... you have the wrong shop!

Have Fun!

Cheers!
