Top of the Shitpile

Good morning! I must have passed out there for a turn.

Here is a cheap Spanish wine called Lujuria from the Yecla winery. For nearly two years now it has been the best bang for buck. Not quite as fine as Ogio but then it's a couple dollars cheaper. This particular bottle (pictured hovering over bathroom tile) has been open three days. I will now taste.

Mild, begining to fall apart but impressively still being wine for it's price and exposure.

Rating: Always worthwhile. (Ed. note: the black-capped 2010's are all but exhausted, however, word on the street [and in much more reputable publications than this] is that 2011 produced the best crop in a few years, so look for the green-capped bottles and drink within two days of cracking.)

Next week: Ogio
