Even with the rise in prices due to a weak dollar, one can still find European red wines that do not break the bank.
What I would call table wine?
Over the past few weeks, I found 3 new options.
First Clua (El Sola d'en Pol, 2006) from producer Xavier Clua, in the 'Terra Alta' appellation in Catalonia (Spain).
This unoaked blend of Grenache (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%), Syrah (20%), Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo, 10%) and Merlot (10%) is a fruit forward offering, simple and pleasant...

leconcierge, I like this story. It's good wine description. I have to admit the same experience, spanish wine good quality/price taste no headache. French table wine falls back, to acid, or missing or wrong cepage (blend). Nothing against it, the Medoc is a excellent cepage, I prefer to a havy loaded Bordeaux ( with a cigar one glas after the cheese not to beat). Do you know that Correns the Brad Pitt residence is famuous for the first Bio vineyards, excellent fruity fresh taste. How does it come, trendy South african wines full aroma, no headache are my friends and my favourite for the summer season. Pls continue to write, like to learn your wine description language. Thanks
