Bodegas Maximo Vino de la Tierra, Castilla La Mancha Tempranillo -- " It emerges from the glass with sophisticated aromas of spice box, incense, violets, and black cherry that are well above its class. This pleasure-bent offering is an excellent value that will prove to be be a crowd-pleaser over the next 4 years." -Wine Advocate With a deep, cherry red color, the wine shows aromas of plums and red berries with tobacco and vanilla notes. In the mouth, the wine has a vibrant, velvety and sweet character, with red fruits and licorice and mint traces, and soft tannins. It is easy drinking, and is a perfect match for tapas, as well as red meat dishes and roast lamb.

El Coto de Rioja-Rioja Blanco -- "Pulpy and also minerally on the nose, with basic white fruit aromas. Zesty, crisp and defined by slate and lime in the mouth, with apple, lime and dryness to the flavor profile. A composed little white wine for simple sipping or white sangria." -Wine Enthusiast "I tasted sharp pear on the nose even light lemon peel zest across my tongue making it perfect for fresh seafood dishes. Dry on the first impression but soon develops into a much richer warmer flavor experience than Chardonnay. With an ever so slight chalky mouth feel, this light fruity wine is the further you can get from heavy or burdensome. Blossoms into an ebullient flavor bomb with cheeses, especially Gruyere." -Steve Mirsky, Foodbuzz.com
