Hi Jack......

I have been busy getting this computer ready for XP and haven't had a chance
to find the article.

Yes, your "other informant" is the one who is right. It is Marques de
Riscal from Rueda and in Spain it had the brass netting (or possibly plastic
now), but not over here. The website I found mentioned that this netting is
hand-crafted by *little old ladies* because it can't be made by machines.

Anyway.....it is one that I happen to like and I am also not a big fan of
reds due to migraines. However, I will try and find the website for you
once I get sorted out here.

I like the New Zealand and Aussie whites (Chilean too)......in fact, as long
as it is dry and light, I am sure to like it, grin.

Cheers.....Senora Figgs

To end this long OT rambling among the vines, one of my contacts in the

wine
business suggested your Spanish white might be a Valencia white blend, by
Palacia Del Conde, as it is marketed in the US with a plastic netting.
However, another informant is quite sure that is is/was, indeed, a Marques
de Riscal from Rueda, and is a blend of Spanish grapes. He distinctly
remembers the wire netting, even without my prompting. It has not been
imported for many years in this manner. In fact, the modern label has a
"wire netting" graphic motif in the background of the label, denoting and
suggesting the former actual netting. Marketing genius, I suspect

someone
actually thinks!

Rueda whites are rather low on the quality lists today, but remain

available
abroad. I still recommend an Albarino to you and Ron, to experience
something different. Try it with a New Zealand sauvignon, ... and some
good shellfish for each.

Didn't you say you don't prefer sweet? These will clean your teeth.

P.S. I forgot to mention the fine Ribera del Duero red, Condada de Haza,

in
my earlier listing.

While quite a bit of Sauvignon blanc is produced in the Reuda region of
Castilla y León, even more of the white verdejo and viura are grown.

These
are crisp, aromatic wines. Marques de Riscal is one of the most highly
regarded producers. http://www.marquesderiscal.com/ingles/

Ironically, the Ribera del Duero region nearby is the source of many

fine
reds, including the wineries, Abadia Retuerta and Vina Mayer, among my
favorites. Tempranillo is the primary grape, similar to cabernet, in
complexity and body. Perhaps the most famous wineries here are Vega

Sicilia
and Pesquera. These are huge, expansive wines, certain to please.

Your "wire netting on a spanish white" doesn't immediately ring my bell,

so
I will research further and get back soon.

Hi Jack......finally remembered part of it and found it on the web.

Marques de Riscal.....but none of the bottles shown had the

distinctive
netting (made of metal they said).....anyway it is a white and

probably
Sauvignon.....

I see on their website that the world-renowned architect Frank Gehry
designed their new headquarters. He is also doing the Art Gallery

here
in
Toronto.....oddball design, I must say.

So try it sometime if you like a light, dry white. I am no expert on
wines.....I just know which ones I like, grin.

Cheers.......Heather

bottle the way it is sold in Spain, but not here. Has a netting

on
it.

can't
see

Then see if you can find Ironstone Vineyards, Sacramento, Calif.,
"Obsession" and Lurton Bodega's Pinot Gris, from Argentina.

XP will amaze you with its stability. Use at least 512 MB.

I hope to get XP on here tomorrow. Ran into a snag with the Upgrade
Advisor.....part of the nVidia Drivers. And I hate messing with
drivers.....

All ready to put it on, once I sort out what is not compatible with it.

Cheers.....Heather
