Martin Codax, Albarina 2007, Rias Baixas, Spain $12.99
So the title of this one is a little confusing, the type of white wine is an Albarina, also known as Albarino. That being said, this Spanish beauty opens up with a complex bouquet of oak, and hints of hunny ; with mostly grassy notes accompanied by a nice lemony citrus, which compliment the strong oak. Its a medium bodied wine, and a substantial amount of oak transfers over to the palate, which is perfectly balanced out by the ample, but not overpowering, citrus. There are hints of tart pineapple and other tropical fruits. This is definitely an interesting wine, but it remains easily approachable. Rosemary chicken would be a lovely pairing.

Great site. Great information. Keep it up. How about some Ohio wines? Yeh, just kidding.

Like the reviews and your focus on bargain wines. I’ve been a little disappointed with the higher prices for Spanish wines - used to be a sure bet bargain - so keep the reviews coming for Spanish (and any Iberian) wines below fifteen bucks. Thank you

PS the contributor’s swipe at Ohio wines was slightly unfair. Ohio white wines have been known to be decent at times. . . .

Actually, now that you mention it, I’ve recently visited an Ohio winery called Raven’s Glen.Their estate wines were quite tasty. They were lighter in body and sweeter than what would normally tickle my fancy, but maintained a high quality, and were very enjoyable. I feel the need to make a notable mention of their Merlot, which was by far my favorite. If i remember correctly it was right around $12.99. Check ‘em out!
