Bodegas Borsao Monte Oton
Grenache is all over Southern France and Spain, producing great values from Côtes du Rhône to little gems like this bottling from Borsao. This wine shares a little of the sweet, jammy character that the Jam Jar features in spades, but is a drier wine. Definitely a crowd-pleaser -- at under $10, sometimes way under, it’s a real steal in today’s market. Try this with some burgers in the backyard and you won’t be able to control your smile!

Great list you put together here. I think the only one I've tried is the Gnarly Head - looks like I need to get shopping. Thanks for the recs.

I bought a case of Evodia 2009 Old Vines Garnacha at Costco recently, having been astonished at the quality of the bottle I picked up out of curiosity for $7! Spanish, 100 yr old vines, "custom cuvee for Eric Solomon." My only complaint is the 15% alc-- that astonished me, as I would never have guessed it from tasting it, and usually I'm pretty sensitive to high alc. content. This has none of the "hot" quality I've disliked in some high alc. wines. Then again, I've read about the undependability of those percentages-- maybe this is more like 13%, which would have been my guess. Totally delish, anyhow.

While I'll skip the jam wine....I will look for the others! I, too, have had only the Gnarly Head...not a bad wine :)
Thanks!
