I forgot about Larose Trintadon (Haut Medoc).  I agree that it's an excellent
Bordeaux for a modest price (the '78 is unreal... if you can find it).

This chateau is owned by the firm which runs Marques de Caceres in the Rioja-
Alta of Spain.  The similarities in style (despite the differing grape
varieties) is not coincidence.  For a fun experience (when you have somebody
over for dinner), try a side-by-side comparison of the 1981 Marques-de-Caceres
Red with a '79 or '81 Larose-Trintadon.  It makes it quite evident what a real
bargain the Rioja is at only about 5 bucks per jug.

Cheers!                                                    =Charles Hunt=
