No I don’t. I did a Legendary QPR thread which had nothing to do this bottom feeding. And why do I need any signature? Looks like you have too much time on your hands.
Sorry, but I added new items to the Fino/Manzanilla poll and lost all the original votes, so I’m not going to add new items to the poll, but more suggestions are very welcome.
I will make a note here that Faustino Montecillo and LRA Alberdi have received 2 postal votes and as counting hasn’t finished, they may be added to the votes (subject to a decision from the Supreme Court )
Wow. I was doing what I thought was some gentle teasing and get called an asshole.
This community is full of information and kindness and generosity. Also humor and we often poke fun at each other. I encourage you to open yourself up to that side of back and forth as well. It will help you feel a part of things.
In the spirit of exactly that, I apologize for hurting your feelings. I should have included a winky face to make the tone more clear.
Hermanos Pecina would probably be my choice. I like them much better than the others that fall in their price range. I could go either way on whether the LdH Cubillo is a better value at a price 50%+ higher. However, you really want to give LdH some additional time, which maybe disqualifies it from the “entry level” category.
Montecillo is crazy QPR. I think part of what some people might be objecting to about this thread is that you took a handful of posts from another thread and then made a poll here based on a really incomplete assessment of the options. So the poll isn’t meaningful. And even if you had included, say, the 10 top picks for great-QPR Rioja from a broad initial survey, what are the chances that most people reading the thread would have tried them all? So some people would just select what they have had and liked without making the comparison.
There are so many great QPRs in Rioja that crowning one the greatest is unrealistic and unproductive, in my opinion.
I’ve liked all the Pecina wines I’ve had, but availability hasn’t been great in my local market, so they’ve kind of dropped off my radar. Thanks for the reminder, though – I should look around again, maybe availability has improved.
