Spanish wine under $10… another Trader Joe’s find. I want to make it a point to bring on different wines at different price points and also find the perfect day to day wine that won’t break your bank.
Today’s wine is from a town in Aragon, Spain called Calatayud. This wine region is known for big and bold red wines mainly made from Granacha grapes. Granacha is one of the most widely distributed grapes in the world and is the second most planted grape in Spain.
Tune in now to taste this Granacha with me. Hope you enjoy this episode.
