Looking for that perfect quaffer to bring you back to the Mediterranean Sea? Look no further. The key here is that the wine is sourced from 30+ year old vines. You get a graceful wine …
This wine has only four months in French oak barrels, and it is light, uplifting, and a joy to drink with tapas, light to medium weighted foods. It’s perfect with B-B-Q too.
Tasting Notes: Very intense red-violet color. Aroma: notes of red and black fruit and spicy touches. On the palate: very fresh, complex and soft wine, with a long finish.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

Not too often but if it does, it’s usually because the additional case discount is not significant enough to compel people to recruit others to chip in on a full case for extra savings.
The Iron Horse Mystery deal stands out because there was no additional case discount and the upgraded bottle ratio (the mystery part of the deal) was actually higher for the smaller packs. 1:4 vs 2:12

About The Winery
Winery: Clos Galena
Clos Galena was the brainchild of Miguel Pérez, a great wine enthusiast who shared his lifelong passion with his wife, Merche Dalmau. Merche and Miguel fell in love with the Priorat region and it was there that their dream became a reality — a sustainable winery inspired by the French châteaux.
The Priorat region is located in south Catalonia, influenced by the Mediterranean climate. Clos Galena’s vineyards are planted with regional grape varieties, grown in traditional non-terraced hillside vineyards, known as ‘costers’. The soils are full of ‘llicorella’, a brown and brittle slate that gives this region’s wines their signature mineral character.
Today, the Clos Galena winery is the culmination of the Pérez and Dalmau families’ continued dedication; it is their life’s work and they remain focused on making unique fine wines.

I like the concept of International Friday, brings back some memories from ####!
However, when an offer has little/no community notes, well…
Better get known, trusted and reliable rats for these @winedavid49 @arianawcc.
@rjquillin
They used to call me “International Chip”.
@chipgreen I remember those rats.
Found a few additional notes…

@winedavid49 @arianawcc
we expecting anything?
@rjquillin Unfortunately, no rats on this one.
Sounds good for the spring/summer. So far, more are in for 4 than 12. I wonder how often the smaller order outsells the case?
