BGF brought over the wine bought for the bottle last week. It was an Encyclopedia Tempranillo Yecla from Spain. Wow. It was a red, very oaky and smokey ... I've heard tell of such wines before but had never tried one and I really really liked it. It was very smooth.

Hi RG. Not really sure as I don't think BGF said, but normally we run between $12 - $15 / bottle on our tastings. I really really liked it.

I forgot to mention that it was by Francis Ford Coppola.

If you want to taste spanish wines I'd recommend wines from Rioja and Ribera de Duero.
