Can you believe those prices?!!!
36 bucks for a Tempranillo from...............Mexico? You could spend half that or less and get the real thing from Espana.
You can get single vineyard Cabs from Napa for 36 bucks.
I dont understand how Mexican wines compete in the world market at their price points. Can they really compete, tastewise, with the above comparisons?
It seems very fishy to me.
