Bio

I am a plonker -- love it when I find great wines in the under $15 range. Need to record those here so I don't forget! I love to cook and to find interesting wines to match the food... and of course I may need to sample the wine while cooking :)

This is not a sweet Riesling. It's dry and gorgeous. Pear and lemony grapefruit. Yum!

A little mustey on the nose at first but really big and drinkable. Fig/plum for the fruit. Really good and a great value.

Pear & grapefruit. Some oak, not too heavy.

Yes, this is an oak'y one. But in a good way. Soft, full, lemony, and butter.

2004 Urban Ribera

I had the 2005 and the "sale" price was $15 (I saw others were getting for $11!, I wish). No matter since I throughly enjoyed. Soft and easy drinking, I detect a chocolate hint alongside berries/cherries and a hint of spice. Very lovely mouthfeel.
