Campos Espana with Jose Hidalgo Sanchez-Migallon

Two wines that he reps for

Gladium 2007 Tempranillo The 2006 was lush and gorgeous this one seems a little green yet...a few months in bottle will help. dark colors in the glass and green and mocha notes on the nose juicy and nice enough acidity

Gladium Temp Crianza 2006 great color in the glass teeth staining purple even.. to be crianza it has to have 2 years in the cellar. 6 months in oak and the rest in bottle. an earthy nose, bright fruit and some tannin lots of violets and flowers. I would like to try it again in another bottle to see if the nose was just the way it will be. It can not be corked because its plastic

also today Jason with Cellar Selections
2006 Girard Chardonnay Russian River big old bottle of ML aromas and big mouthfeel.some oak and roundness... not for the faint of heart chard drinker

2005 Artistry Red from Napa new name that was just Red pretty ruby color. 54% cab and then cab franc bing cherry in the nose and palate nice ripe fruit, would like a little more complex flavors but the depth was fine.
