Thanks for the comment and the suggestion, Keith! Does your tasting club have a website? Maybe I could give it a plug, unless it’s more of a “secret” wine tasting clubs. I’m going to look for that Hecula. I like Mourvedre very much, but I’ve mostly had California Mourvedres, which bring just too much heat.

Hope you keep reading!

I started a tasting club out here in Santa Monica and we’ve had a lot of great sub $20 bottles. My personal favorite for sub $10 would have to be the 2005 Hecula from Bodegas Castano. (100% Mourvedre from the Yecla region in Spain) Tanzer and Parker both seem to agree with matching 90 pt scores! Give it a shot… available at most Costco’s and KL Wine Merchants in CA.

$12 Liberty School – Cabernet Sauvignon – Paso Robles (avail @ Trader Joes)
- Personal Favorite of mine.

Highway 12 Winery (Sonoma) has excellent Merlot and Chardonnay under $20.

Cline Cellars also makes a lot of good stuff under $20.

Happy tasting!
