I loved my visit to Solaz in Malpica, and also prefer the Temp-Shiraz, although I think the Domaine Malpica Cabernet is a terrific wine and a steal for the price. More details to follow. It is my understanding that production has increased and that more will find their way to the US, including a Rose.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-70336070074537918882008-06-12T15:48:00.000-07:002008-06-12T15:48:00.000-07:00I was in Spain four years ago; still haunted (in a...I was in Spain four years ago; still haunted (in a good way) by the jabugo ham (way better than serrano - like buttah!) and the food and people everywhere. Curious as to your visit to the Solaz winery in Malpica.... I have come to prefer the Tempranillo-Shiraz to the Tempranillo-Cabernet. What did you think, and are they making more of these blends in qty that will get to the U.S. market?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-76935521657390919512008-06-12T08:32:00.000-07:002008-06-12T08:32:00.000-07:00Thanks to everybody for their comments.

This is no knock on the wonderful people and culture of France, It's just that the Spanish people have a magic and vitality all their own. If I could go back tomorrow, I wouldn't think twice about it.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224774383619390578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-66511393138398700572008-06-10T13:18:00.000-07:002008-06-10T13:18:00.000-07:00I too have a love affair with Spain's wine and peo...I too have a love affair with Spain's wine and people.

We find too that when people visit they really do fall in love with Sherry, and regret not being able to find the fresh stuff back at home. We hope you have better success!
