Wines: What to eat? What's in the house?

[Dick R.]

The master chef (my wife) cooked a meatball stroganoff with
sautéed mushrooms and beef gravy served on noodles. Very good!
The wine was Albero 2007 Monastrell Jumilla from Spain.
I don't know how the wine would rate in a comparative tasting,
but it sure was good with the stroganoff!

Once again. I have a very contented feeling.

****, you had a better experience with the wine than I did. I had the
wine recently at a blind tasting with friends of Spanish wines. The
bottle we had was pretty funky and tart. I'm not sure if we had a bad
bottle or if the wine suffered by comparison...the other wines were a
2006 Muga a 2006 Clio, 2006 Termes and a 2007 Alto Moncayo. I'll
have to try it again on it's own.

I think you may have had a bad bottle. Had this on the wine cruise and
thought it was a nice Monastrell.

I thought it was a Trader Joe's exclusive....at least here in Ohio it
is.
