Monasterio de Corias

Finca Los Frailes Mencía Blend 2012

Field blend of Albarín Negro, Mencía, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro. Steep and slate soiled slope. Neutral barrels. Bright acidity to boost the black cherry fruit, easy tannins, and just enough wet slate rusticity. My favorite of their cuvées. — 10 years ago

Surprise! What a nice unknown wine. 50% Albarin and 50% indigenous Mencia (no stems) from JR and tasted 10 years ago wondering how it’d age. Well it aged beautifully. Nose is endless floral yet deep earthy notes, lithe body lively on palate and long finish. Yum. QPR $17 — 5 months ago

Monastero Suore Cistercensi

Coenobium Lazio Bianco Trebbiano Blend

Really clean, like Asturias pear cider. Especially because it had some carbonation when I opened it and the cork blew up like a champagne mushroom. Paired w/ mushroom ragù over cheesy polenta — 7 years ago

Sidra Angelon

Prau Monga Sidra de Asturias Apple Cider
