Is there another Ribera, of another River coincidentally also named El Duero, I don't know about?Garnacha, correct? IMO the best value red wine variety in the world, if from Spain of course

Dunno that Rioja but Riojas I enjoy are:
Carlos Serres
Muga
Lopez de Herredia
Hazana
There's probably other I've forgotten about.
All are very good, but Lopez de Herredia is an icon. They hold their sh!t back years, current vintage on market is 2008 I think.

Is there a good wine that comes in a polycube?
I mean, besides Franzia golden Zinfandel in a box.

There are some good 3L bag in box wines, sure.
Borgia Garnacha and they make a macabeo blend also
Clos de Lumieres Cotes du Rhône
Ananto (Bodegas Sierra Norte) does red, white, rose

Hmmm, 3 liters of bagged wine seems like overkill for my situation.
Just need a 1 liter polycube. That size would fit in my backpack easier.

I try to save that for water, no, I mean, tequila!
I suppose decanting a bottle of the good stuff into a water bag, then squish out all the air is the way to do it.
The man likes his northern rhones. Cote rotie can be the shiz. Andrew Murray makes some co-ferments like that in SB County. Interesting how it came to be. One of their syrah vineyards mistakingly got a small bit of viognier planted in it and they said phuk it and made it in that same style. Watch Hill and Roasted Slope vineyards.
Andrew Murray makes some of the best Syrah in CA for sure. I used to sell a lot of his wines.
Best Syrah in CA I ever had was a 2007 Arcadian, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard. Man, that dude knew syrah. IIRC, the vineyard was ripped out in 2008 and replanted to pinot noir. Shame to follow the money rather than grow the best syrah in California.

Great California Syrah is tough to find. Especially cool climate where you get the black pepper compound (Rotundone). Even more infuriating is that most wineries who have access to that fruit insist on making the most overpowered Robert Parker bullshiat out of it.
