all good love affairs must come to an end


Bodegas Juan Gil
Jumilla
100% monastrell
product of spain

Maybe it was the long out-of-stock situation at Cost Plus. Maybe it was the chance discovery of a couple bottles at the Milwaukee Public Market. Maybe it was over-buying it when it came back in stock.

But, now that it is readily available, and pretty much a star in every magazine (well, just Food and Wine, but you know what I mean), I'm over it.

The more I drank it the more I just didn't think it was all that. But, maybe I just got a bad batch.

Maybe I'll fall in love again with this one. Just not now. I just can't stop thinking about Layer Cake... my new obsession... my new love affair.

Adieu, mon amour, adieu.

OK, maybe I should clarify. I wouldn't kick this wine out of bed.

PS I learned that saying from Brady.
