Wine Blogging Wednesday 35

We were happy to see Michelle from My Wine Education’s straightforward selection for Wine Blogging Wednesday #35 - “Passionate Spain.” In addition to leaving the field wide open - a wine from Spain - Michelle encouraged us to select a bottle that cost under $10 - definitely in our preferred “affordable” category here at Box Wines.


For the first time in recent memory, we didn’t have to make a last minute run to the wine shop to find something suitable for this month’s WBW challenge. We had just returned from our Trader Joe’s expedition, and just happened to have a bottle of Santana Tempranillo 2004 in our mixed case. It cost about $5 - just about as affordable as you can get outside of Two Buck Chuck. We haven’t blogged about this varietal much at all. The only one we’ve tried lately has been Infinitus Tempranillo 2004, which we enjoyed. (The Santana Tempranillo is actually a blend that includes 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.)
