Q&A with Cathie Beck discussion

A: Spain makes great red wines in the $10 range. The 2007 Juan Gill Jumilla and the 2007 Las Rocas Garnacha are a couple of great wine secrets. I’ve seen them listed on restaurant wine lists at $40, but you can find them at liquor stores for about $10.

Spain was late getting on board with international marketing strategies. Just walk straight to the “Spain” aisle at your liquor store. Grab several in the $10 range. It’s like drinking $25 Italian wine. Trust me.

Alternatively: Take a $7 Italian table wine. Fill a glass to the top with ice. Fill half the glass with the Italian table wine and the remainder of the glass with ice cold Diet 7-up. Stir it with your finger. Trashy Women Sangria!
