1998 Terra Unica Tempranillo

[doug'n'boston]

Well somehow we screwed up, forgot to pay the homeowners insurance and had to run down to my insurance agent to pay up. My agent is in Concord and since I was there ... well I decided to drop into the Concord Cheese Shop. They really do have a small, but select offering of wines. I just wanted a hunk of cheese to carry me through the day, but this box of Terra Unica's were just behind me. It said something like, 1000 bottles sold since ... some date. $7.99 ... $7 if you buy a case ... almost gone. Well if I was served a little quicker, I'd have had my hunk of Gouda and been gone. But, no, I had enough time for the "almost gone" sign to call me closer. Bought a bottle and and had it with grilled salmon, asparagus, and corn. Medium red, slightly spicy with a touch of clove. I will be back to buy more. Anyone had this? Thoughts?
