My husband is always on the hunt for a wine that tastes better than its price. It is another form of collecting; only these collectibles, while they can be saved, do not have to be cleaned or polished. Tres Picos is one of those wines. A perennial favorite -- this wine from the Borsao region of Spain, southeast of Rioja, is made from 100% old vine grenache. A big, big fruity red wine with an excellent long finish, Tres Picos 2008 received a 91 rating from Parker. With a retail price of $16.99, it is a bargain. Our wine seller routinely discounts this wine to $12.99. We have enjoyed Tres Picos over its last four vintages, and it continues to get better and better. Tres Picos is widely distributed so check to see if your local wine store has it.
