Barry's Six Pack

Mention a 6-pack to any guy under 30 and he will think of his stomach muscles...which if you are fit..look like 6-pack of beer cans. My 6-packs are of the bottle size...not my stomach...that is still flat...but my wine orders. I love ordering a selection of individual bottles to be tried and tasted.
Three such are on their way.....no way back..if they are bad..down to me. Maybe someone has already tried one.

I have enjoyed the '05 and '06 Petalos, have been dying to try that Corullon (same maker, high end bottling) - I can't wait to see your notes on those. I have not tried any of the other selections...

That La Rioja Alta should be great. Looking forward to the tasting note! Plus, I wish we could get that selection of German and Austrian wine here. Lucky lucky man.
