More sistabard from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Last Thurs we tasted a tableau of Suertes del Marques wines from the CanaryIslands. This is a natural wine producer and the wines reflected that fact. They ranged from OK/interesting to undrinkable. They all showed some natty character to varying degrees. It was not a good tasting.
So I picked up this one from Kokomans that was a JosePastor Imprt just for comparison. However, this was a LLaurador wine, the guy who selects the natural wines for JosePastor. So my hopes were pretty low. He, once again, fully delivered on my expectations.
