Well last night it was still pretty early and I decided to finish my bottle of Merlot. I opened a bottle of Mano A Mano Tempranillo 2006. I must say not bad. Will it become my new favorite tempranillo? I don;t know I will have to do a side by side comparsion.
I'll know for sure tonight when I have another glass or two. Since I won't be leaving my house tonight.
Update: I was looking online to see if I could remember how much I paid for this wine and I found this gem of information although it was the 2004 Tempranillo they were talking about I found it amusing all the same.
Tasting Notes. Color: Deep black purple ruby, translucent. Aromas: Cherry, pomegranate and hints of meat and bacon fat. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with intense dry gravelly tannins to balance the bold fruit flavors and tart acidity which explode on the palate. The finish is firm with warm echoes of lush red fruit and a dryness that begs another sip.

What I'm Drinking
So (I really have to stop starting sentences with "So") I have decided to start another blog feature called "What I'm Drinking". It will be a post on what wine I am currently drinking and what I like or don't like about it. I have been out of wine for a while and after leaving the pub last night I stopped in the liquor store with the scary auto opening doors to pick up a bottle.
Red Rock Winery Merlot 2005 ($10.99)
Delicious. I forgot how much I like merlot. I haven't been buying many bottles because there is so many varietals to try. This bottle is dry, velvety-smooth and pleasant. I would recommend this one to others. If I would have had to go to work I would of stayed up watched some tv and finished the bottle. This way I have more for tonight.
