2008 La Mano, Mencia Tinto Roble, Vinos de Arganza, Bierzo
The region of Bierzo is situated in northwest Spain just inland from Galicia. History shows that winemaking in the area dates back as far as visiting Greeks and Phoenecians. La Mano refers to the work done by the harvesters who collect the Mencia grapes which are then destemmed and crushed before being put into large stainless steel tanks where the pulp is macerated for 48 hours in order to extract maximum aromas and colour. After fermentation the wine goes to mature in barrels of American oak for three months before bottling.

L'Aventure Estate Cuvée 2007, Paso Robles 
The 2007 Estate Cuvee (44% Syrah, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 19% Petit Verdot) is much bigger and denser than its 2008 counterpart, despite the fact that it is only 15.4% alcohol, compared to the 2008's 15.9%. Fullbodied with abundant notes of creme de cassis, blackberries, smoke, graphite, and charcoal, this dense, layered, beautifully textured effort will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 10-15+ years. 95 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.

Comparative Mixed 6-bottle case Does good wine have to be expensive? 
The Adnams Selection White Burgundy £8.99 vs Domaine de la Bongran, Macon-Villages, Burgundy £16.99 Both are made from Chardonnay and are from Macon. The Bongran is made from grapes that are left on the vine for longer than normal, and takes many months to complete fermentation in the cellar. They are very different in style. Quinta do Crasto Tinto 2008 £8.50 vs Quinta do Crasto Reserva 2007 £17.99 The Tinto has all the intensity of a Port – rich, spicy, black fruit flavours, hints of muscovado sugar – without the weight and substantial alcohol. The Reserva uses fruit from 70-year-old vines and is aged in French and American oak barrels. You’ll find it’s more muscular, weighty and intense. Forrest Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough £9.50 vs Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough £18.99 Both are classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs. Cloudy Bay is the famous brand which effectively launched New Zealand into the limelight for its outstanding Sauvignon Blanc.

2010 Palomino Fina, A.Barbadillo,Vino de la Tierra de Cadiz
Located in the 'Jerez Superior' the long established firm of Antonio Barbadillo farm just over 500 hectares of vines. They combine state of the art winemaking facilities with ancient barrel halls that store 35 million litres of maturing sherries. They are the largest producer of Manzanilla in Andalucia but their range covers all styles. They are one of the few producers in this region who have mastered the making of fresh dry whites using the local Palomino grape. This grape is perfect for Sherry as it has a tendency to oxidise, keeping it fresh is a great achievement and Barbadillo do it well. Great value for money, a perfect summer aperitif.

Pétalos Bierzo 2009, Descendientes de J. Palacios
Buy 2 bottles save £4
One of 9 children of the owner of Rioja house Bodegas Palacios Remondo, Alvaro Palacio has broken away from Rioja to pursue an independent winemaking philosophy. His holdings in Bierzo total only 30ha, spread across some 200 tiny, steeply-sloped vineyard sites. A broad spectrum of aromas gradually emanate from the glass, with blackcurrant and cherry being joined by savoury clove and liquorice notes. Smooth yet muscular tannins and a long, drying finish. An interesting alternative middleweight red, which will go well with full-flavoured pasta dishes, charcuterie and hard cheeses or game.
