Wish List:I'm looking at summer white wines right now...Albariños from Spain, Fiano di Avellinos from Italy...and I'd love to try some new dry rosés from the Loire Valley.
Wish List:Two Hands Shiraz, Grgich Hills Chardonnay, and a number of first or second growth 2005 Bordeaux - not the top flight - something I can afford (sort of).

Rueda: Spain’s Cutting-Edge Wine Region
By Nancy ParodeRueda wines made news this summer when MSNBC.com’s wine expert, Edward Deitch, recommended a 2006 Rueda Verdejo made by Marqués de Riscal, calling it “top-value”, “easy-to-drink” and “satisfying.”
Rueda, a DO since 1980, is located in northwestern Spain, in the Castilla y León region. The Duero River flows through Rueda’s northwestern corner. Several tributaries branch off from this important river, providing, through their flooding, soils that are excellent for growing wine grapes.
