Betsy had a chamber concert in city after opera, I made a swordfish
steak with capers and saffron with leftover vegetables. Opened a half
of the 2007 Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina (Sannio)- undrinkably
oxidized. Other recent bottles were fine, I'll assume this was just a
random bad cork. Next up was the 2006 Terroja de Sabate i Coca Xarello
(this is the upper end bottlling from Castellroig). It has the
mandatory "I'm serious wine, feel me" heavy bottle, but no apparent
oak. Full bodied with good acids, lemons and blood orange over some
stony minerality. Long finish. I really quite like this, though at
about $30 I'm not rushing out to buy more. That however probably says
more about my buying habits for Spanish whites than the wine, which is
actually a good value compared to many wines.

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
