Crios - I believe I love it...


Crios de Susana Balbo

50% Syrah
50% Bonarda

Mendoza
Argentina

Balbo describes this wine as "extremely lovable and fun to be around." I'd agree, except for the "extremely" part. That's just a little dramatic. But really, a good wine to have on hand in the house.

Got it at Cost Plus . It's a standard one they usually have there. At least in Greendale, Wisconsin, where we call Cost Plus "World Market"... and have NO IDEA what a "Cost Plus" is.

P.S. she says this is part of her offspring wine collection ("Crios"). She splits all her barrels before blending - the good ones into parents - or her signature wines. This Crios is part of the "other" barrels. Hmmmm.
