Your Preferences

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

Red wine preferences

Do you like?	Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
Big, full bodied red wines? The kind of wine that goes with a rich meaty stew? E.g. Aussie Shiraz.
Elegant restrained reds...e.g. Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Rioja? Warm, oaky mellow wines, great for sharing around a roaring fire?
Soft, fruity, juicy easy drinking reds. e.g. Chilean Merlot, or a Cote du Rhone?

White wine preferences

Do you like?	Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
New Zealand Sauvignons and other fruity, refreshingly zingy whites?
Oaky, mellow fruity wines? Australian Chardonnay for example?
Fruity but DRY whites, perfect for an aperitif
Bone dry classics like Chablis?

Group Description

Hi
 
 I am passionate about Spanish wines. I travel to Spain several times a year where I do my best to try as many wines as possible. I also try to discover gems among those Spanish wines being sold in the UK.
 
For those interested I have published a book about the different wine producing regions in Spain, that can be downloaded for free from http://www.adelacasa.co.uk
 I have created this group with the idea of sharing comments on Spanish wines, as well as recommendations, and anything else.

Bought some Duque de Castilla Tempranillo Reserve 2008 at Tesco Wines before Xmas and forgot about it. Found it in a corner of the kitchen today and loving it. Beautifully smooth and rich at the same time.

Had a very pleasant Falset 2005 (granache, carignan & syrah) d.o Mont Sant. Doubt if you keep much longer, but still had some good fruit and was quite soft. Lovely with our roast chicken tonight....... Baron de Ley, Club Privado 2006 with the cheese.....

What can I say about this wine? It is a cosecha, the lowest grade in Rioja calification and one of the most amazing wines I have tried lately: when I opened the bottle I got lots of fresh red fruits on the nose and palate, 20 minutes later the complexity of it arrived to me: leather, vanilla, tobacco, red fruits and oak. Amazing. If I did not know it was just a cosecha I would have thought it was a really good reserva. Amazing wine! 4.5 points
