Las Rocas - don't drink it alone

















Las Rocas de San Alejandro
Vinas Viejas 2005
Calatayud
Spain

Garnacha
2005

What I mean is that you need to drink it with food - chocolate, pizza, anything! Just not by itself - it tastes weird.

It's a great pairing wine. Drink it with something.

I'm so glad you posted new wines. I'll have to go wine shopping as my supply is getting low. Jesse G's wife and I finished a bottle and a half last night. It was hard being at work today. Now its night time and guess what...I've opened a new bottle of wine. Does anyone think I'm an alcoholic?

I'll never think you're an alcoholic if you're drinking red wine. GOOD red wine. If you start downing the Franzia (which does have a very specific role in my drinking regimen) then I'll start to worry.

Have you tried the 2007 vintage? I enjoyed it alone with out chocolate or otherwise. It definitely has a distinct flavor. The nose had quite an interesting stench though.
