I went though a lengthy Rioja phase last year, may have overdone it tad actually. Got burned out on all that Crianza and Faustino. Still like it but am trying to branch out a bit.
Got a nice drop from Oddbins yesterday actually, it was the staff recomendation Wolftrap or something? Yep, The Wolftrap, Syrah Mourvedre Viognier. Only about £6 I think and verrrry nice it was too. I like a nice Burgundy too. Had a bottle of Chateau De Brague on Saturday. Quite drinkable but not wow. If i'm honest I only went for it because I honed in on a new Burgundy I hadn't tried and the fact that it was 2006 which I vaguely recall being told was a good year. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to wine. Recomedations welcome.
