1. Beberana Carta de Oro, Etiqueta Negra, on sale at 4.62€ from 8.75€

            Meaty aftertaste, which could have been the dirty glass. Smooth and non-offensive, it stays out of your way like a frightened intern.  8.6/10

 2. Luis Gurpegui Muga, 1999, 4.38€

            The cork splintered mid-pull and the color proved flattering on my date. Louie G brings a fairly full flavor, above and beyond the bonus points accorded for mere presence of taste. "I was impressed by the Gurpegui and the immaculate taste it presented." –Connoisseur with gun to his head. This is the type of wine that makes you drop Shaft quotes. 9.0/10

 3. Los Molinos, Tradición, 2003, 5€

            Cheap wine's not supposed to taste this good. We wanted camel hoof. Stamp glue. Something industrial. Wait—halfway through the glass, it's taken on the aftertaste of pressure treated wood. Guess we should have let it breathe. Bonus points for crooked labels. 7.6/10

 4. Tierra del Sol, Tempranillo, 2001, 4.53€

            The clean opening procedure led us to believe we'd found an undervalued winner. Actually, this wine's just downright lazy. A lazy, loose cork and a flavor that gives an attempt at bus seat, then keels over and dies. Serving suggestion: Chew ten to fifteen Tums and play drinking games with it. 4.7/10

 5. Señorio de Alonso, unknown age, 4.18€

Clear and light, clearly lightened with water. A piece of Orbit gum helps bring out the sweaty aftertaste. Although the cork has grapes on it, this wine is made from something else. Fermented ice pops? Surgical drippings?  6.8/10

 6. Los Molinos, Rosé, unknown age, 2.58€

            This Rosé represents the price-to-taste ratio livers fear. We picked it up through an inventory clearance sale. It was good, so good we gave up taking notes and finished the bottle. And the five other bottles we took home. And that's all, folks. Inventory cleared. You'll never find this wine in Granada again. Lesson: If the storeowner says a cheap rosé's gone bad, it's good. 9.6/10

 7. Lomas Altas, Tinto, 2000, 4.15€

            The short, stubby cork disappointed everyone. Although our host was reduced to tears, this red came through. Sweet n' watery, it's not a major heartburn threat. Looks like grape juice and is just as strong. Mix into sangria for the office or save your money and get a real buzz at communion. 5.2/10
