A few years back it was monastrell, mencía, godello, graciano, moscatel de grano menudo. Now it's really been expanded...

The manager at my fave store downtown said..."Try this Bob". Very big wine but quite expensive. There were 2 wines ranging from $34 up to $70.

If most of these new, to me, names are anything like as interesting as, for example, Mencia and Godello, wine-lovers can look forward to an exciting expansion of their palette of taste sensations.
