LUSH, RIPE GARNACHA FOR AN UNBEATABLE PRICE!
"One of our bargain favorites, Ateca Honoro Vera Garnacha, has just arrived and we have a new, low price (under $6 a bottle!!) Ripe, lush fruit with a subtle earthy undertone; this wine is really a no-brainer. Plus, it recently scored 91 Points from James Suckling. It’s a crowd-pleasing, easy drinking wine to buy by the case without breaking the bank!" – Jim Knight, The Wine House (3/6/17)
