NYC: Spain and Italy for $14
This is a quick entry before I forget.
Found multiple Prado Rey wines at the wine store in the Chelsea Market (9th Ave between 17th and 18th street). This winery made a lovely wine I had at Chez Pannisse back in say 1999, that I then bought a case of for $6/bottle. I found what I think is the similar wine the Prado Rey 2006 Roble Ribera Del Duero for $14 ish. Nice red fruit with acidity though a tad sour at times. My score: 88.
At a wine tasting the next day at the same store, my favorite was the Cantina Zaccagnini 2004 Montelpulciano d'Abruzzo "dal tralcetto". So I got a bottle for $14. Lovely ripe red, purple berry with a nice dusty note. Medium body, medium rich. Some tastes were lovely, some were a bit tannic. Wonderful with food. Not super complex but hard to beat. My score: 91.
