3 great wine values from Telmo Rodriguez, a rising star in Spanish winemaking. All of the Rodriguez vineyards are biodynamically farmed.
Basa Blanco 2007 $11.99 A tasty blend of Verdejo, Viura and Sauv Blanc from Rueda. It is un-oaked and unpretentious. This great summer value has wonderful citrus aromas with a hint of mineral and lively acid that carries through to a mouthwatering finish. Buy 2 because you will be surprised how fast the first one goes down.
Dehesa Gago 2006 $14.99 100% Tempranillo from the Toro region and 100% delicious. A medium bodied red that is bursting with red fruit flavors and has a surprisingly rich, long finish. Stainless fermentation and no oak aging keep this wine fresh and ready to pair with just about anything off the grill.
Gazur 2006 $17.99 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. This wine shows a focused and concentrated array of dark fruit and a persistent note of spice. Gazur would be a great pair with most red meat or pork or even a riper type of cheese.
