Bodega del Abad Crianza 2006, Bierzo D.O., Spain: Lovely mature flavours of tanned leather, violets and cigar box. Not fruity. Love this lots more than "younger" Crianzas. Somewhat like mature Rioja without the markup. The Bierzo region of Spain has recently reinvested itself and emerged as a modern producer of a very traditional grape, Mencia. This wine finished with black, mocha and spice. Try it with light curry dishes. Drink: 2012-2017. 244699 13.60% XD 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 90/100. March 7, 2016 Best Value Red Wine. Calm Curry Wine Full Review
Gehringer Brothers Private Reserve Pinot Gris 2013, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia Bc V.Q.A., Canada: A very pleasant sipper with mouth-watering aromas of white peach and melon. Clean and crisp, no heavy oak. Pair with shellfish. Drink: 2013-2016. 347203 13.20% XD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 87/100. April 4, 2015 Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
