This was a great second visit to meet and taste the current vintages of these fine LUZ wines from Spain that we have already sold at Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits and will include once again in March, along with the wine-tasting we will do of them with Franceen on Saturday, March 14th, 2015 from 2-6PM that is free, Everyone is always welcome.
I was very impressed indeed with the three LUZ wines that we will sell for $9.99 a bottle : a dry red, rose and dry white, the red and rose being made from old-vines Garnacha, and the white a blend of Viura mostly with a bit of Muscat ( 10% ), and I forget the other white grapes, oops... I liked it's brightness, as I liked the brightness, fresh-forward quality and liveliness of all three.
I also liked the Albarino which had more mouth-feel, more body and which would be excellent now with this cold and damp all around us.
The Monastrell at 15.5% alcohol bothered me personally for that but I could see how many would like it best. It. too was really well-made as were all these wines.
We will taste five of the six I believe in March, so you may all decide for yourselves. Cheers, and do mark your calendars now. TONY 2/4/ 2015
