Wolfblass taste-alike

This is only my second post and I think I'll jump in with all limbs.I've been on a mission to find a wine that is similar to the WB Cab.,but that is also under the $17.00 CDN price tag. I like the real fullbodied, fruity and "chewy" reds. I most often drink the wine outsideof a meal. The people at the LCBO are somewhat helpful but I have afeeling that there is lots of experience and expertise in this group.If I can find such a wine that is even more economical then I'll beable to drink twice as much (I wish) for the price ;-)ThanksLarry Stumpf, 44°06'N, 79°29'W in S.

Actually the oyster thing isn't true. I tried a half dozen (fresh) ones once and only 4 of them worked.......;-)

Good point. I always tend to mentally omit Iberia when thinking about European wines - and I shouldn't.

I do not think there is a very high correlation between vintage quality in Spain and Portugal and that of northern Europe.

1963 was a great Port year, but abysmal in France. 1959 was said to be bad in Spain, but proclaimed as the vintage of the century in much of Europe. 1994 was not very good in France, but the Vintage Port was great. I guess 1997 was good in Southern France and Italy as well as Port.

Depending how you measured this you may actually get a negative correlation.
