Torres Vina Esmeralda

[ethandron]

The above wine is on offer in Costco from tomorrow...six bottles for £32.38...so I'm going to give it a go. Never had it before so wondered if any of you wine buffs have, and what you thought of it?

I have drunk it quite often over the years. It is quite fruity, Mr. Sam finds it too sweet, but I like it. It is not a sweet wine , just quite fruity.

Cheap, sweet and avoidable.

It's not that cheap Sqad, even here in Spain. We get some very nice Verdejos in Alcampo for half the price. I have even found a nice one there for 1,95€

You are joking...right?
For white wine.......go for the Albarinos ......many of them, but try Martin Codax.

Here in the UK it's selling in all the major supermarkets at £8.50 a bottle so the Costco offer price is pretty good in comparison. I don't think I'd call it a cheap wine, if 'cheap' in this case is defined by price.
I like a fruity wine so am happy to try it, I'm sure it will get drunk over the summer.

[Samuraisan]

Nope I am not. I never spend more than 3,95€ . There are so many unknown bodegas out there producing some acceptable wines. But, for special occasions my favourite is Finca de Colina. Mmmmm.
