Wine Tasting - Rueda Vacceos Verdejo-Viura 2006

Cheers everyone!

It's wine tasting time once again.  We daringly bought some $3.33 wine from Eat More Produce.  Regularly $7.99/bottle but on special at 3 for $10.00. Hmm... I don't believe that I have ever tasted $3.33 wine before.

I can certainly acknowledge that neither Tiffany nor I have ever tasted either the Verdejo or Viura grape varietal.  But, were we in for a treat or were we about to experience our first $3.33 bottles which tasted as such?

Well... I'm happy to report that it was a pleasant Spanish white wine.  Both Tiffany and I enjoyed it as noted below.

Point Score A:  83

Review A

Review B

We enjoyed this wine so much (for the value) that we went back to Eat More Produce and bought 3 more bottles.

Tiffany and I both thought it to have a grassy aroma.  A most noticeable grapefruit taste with earthy mineral notes.
