2005 Juan Gil - MY LOVE AFFAIR
Oh my gosh, I am seriously in love with Juan Gil, and any wine store that carries it. Both Cost Plus-World Market and Sheridan's carry it - so I am pretty much covered.
But seriously, amazing. I think it is about $13.99/ bottle or something like that (in Wisconsin dollars).

Jenn....so glad you included a picture of the label. I cant remember names of things. I think its old age kicking in. I had a great bottle of wine this past weekend with my friend Mido. But, I can't remember the name of it. It was voted best wine of O.C something like that. I'll find out the name and post it on your blog.
I'm so excited. I went to cost plus today and bought 3 bottles of this. I can't wait to try it. i'm gonna give one to ernie. see - i remembered the label. I walked around that store for about 20 more minutes trying to remember the other bottles you have on your website...i couldn't remember.
I'm not lying...Mitch ordered this bottle when we were on a business trip to Atlanta last year. I liked it so much, I put it in my Blackberry to remind me of the name.

Did you try it yet? Do you love it too... or am I always drinking the whole bottle and impairing my ability to write a decent blog about wine?
Or wait. I'm probably asking the wrong person on this, considering you likely do the same thing. Dang!

Question is... did Mitch like it?
