I doubt these wines will become so popular as to leave you parched. ;) Not exactly a style of wine that is likely to fly off the supermarket shelves, eh? All the better for us wine geeks and locals. Jim Ian and Irene –

They are getting to be quite popular outside of Galicia these days. I just hope all of this attention leaves enough for us who live in the Ribeira Sacrá enough to drink. regards from Ian and Irene Casa Santo Estevo I am glad you like the Ribeira Sacrá wines.

Yeah, would be fun to connect for wine here in town some time. Austin's got so many good places for that now. Besides Fino, I'm a big fan of the ever changing choices at Mulberry. And good food to boot. Jim, I’ll check out the links. Yeah, would be fun to connect for wine here in town some time. Austin’s got so many good places for that now.

I could see this working with fried green tomatoes, too. Yum. I dig the Juan Gil as well. (Here's my review in case you missed it: http://www.vinegeek.com/2010/02/mourvedre-monday-4-juan-gil-2007/ ) And if this is you're first time visiting the blog, check out the Year of Mourvedre link at the top for other Mourvedre/Monastrell/Mataro reviews. Maybe we'll bump into each other at a wine event around town or we could meet up for a glass sometime. Cheers. It’s cool that Fino would have this on their list.

Went googling and what do I find but someone blogging about it from apparently right here in Austin too. We loved the wine. Often at Fino we'd opt for something more like the Juan Gil monastrell (which they didn't have right now) but this one came recommended from Fino staff and was a really lovely lighter bodied wine but complex nose and fresh fruit. Both of us really enjoyed it. Oddly perhaps, seemed to pair up nicely with the fried green tomatoes we were also having. Just had this wine earlier this evening at Fino in Austin.

If it's an oddball it may be hard to find. Even if you can't find this particular bottle, keep your eyes peeled for any wine from the region. That Galevan was gone in a couple weeks at my Costco. I've still got 5 bottles in cellar. :) Yeah that’s always a balance with these posts. If it’s an oddball it may be hard to find.
