This is still my favourite, first one I mentioned and goes very well with bbq food.
Very soft tannins and silky smooth, while being dark and heavy. I can't stand light red wines, taste like vinegar to me, even expensive ones. Personally I like Grenache-based wines such as the ones I mentioned and includes more well known ones such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape. |

Not sure why light reds should taste bad unless you're pairing with heavy food, or you smoke? |

This being in the house every day really has upped my wine intake which while nice isn't good for the body or wallet really! |

Thanks for the suggestions, gives me some new wines to try and hopefully add to the list of wines i like
Had some Zonin Montepulciano D'Abruzzo last night and that was good, not as good as the Campo Viejo Rioja Gran Reserva but still nice. Where is the best place to order wines online other than amazon? and do you have any White wine suggestions? i tried the 19 crimes Chardonnay awhile ago, it was ok but found it to be very dry Not sure if this is a good idea / value: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faustino-Wi...0443660&sr=8-1

God knows why that's tilted, I can't find an option to correct it. Anyway, I have the WSET L3 qual and used to work for a small company running wine tastings in my spare time and these are the Riojas we used to use. I was never really a fan of the stuff until I did my WSET and then tried this particular wine, now have it all the time. In fact I had some Gran Reserva yesterday afternoon with lunch (sourdough bread and chorizo cooked in a grill pan, olive oil, a little garlic, rocket and home made mayonnaise. Glorious.)
