Especially since I'm always drinking wine at meals when the acid is needed. <BR/><BR/>So #2 Almansa is definitely is one I'll look out for.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if serving temperature has an impact on the expression of acid in wine? I was thinking maybe that is why majority Grenache wines seem better when served on the cool side.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.com
