Wine Time! 2009 Protocolo

Yummy.  A kick ass red for the price.


Name - Dominio de Eguren 2009 Protocolo Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
Purchased - Whole Foods
Actual Cost - 7.99 + tax
Price Range - 6.49 (on sale) to 9.00

The hubris in my giant melon assures me that you're hanging on my every review and you trust my viticultural judgement implicitly.  However, if you prefer a more authoritative source... This wine made Wine Enthusiast Top 100 2011 and is a best buy with 89 points.

Newfangleddad and I enjoyed it with a really awful veggie soup I crafted from the deep, dark, depths of the refrigerator crisper drawer.  The wine was nice enough that we almost didn't notice how awful the veggie soup really was.  Almost.
