I was driving so didn't have a pen handy and it's since escaped me. I can download the podcast but thought someone here might have heard this too? Any help?

Fri Feb 20 10:40:58 -0800 2009 4425835 102277 tiggs2000 2 4436494 Jumilla is a DO (Denomination of Origin), not a particular wine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumilla_(DO) Fri Feb 20 12:27:50 -0800 2009 4436079 28703 RicRios 1 4437802 If you look up david kamp's website, he actually mentions the wine since obviously he had lots of inquiries: 2006 Olivares Altos De La Hoya from Jumillla, Spain. I see it on wine-searcher for as low as $8.99!

It's mostly mourvedre.

For another good Jumilla wine, you can try the Bodegas Juan Gil Monastrell, should be about $15 give or take. Finca Luzon, a Monastrell-based blend, is also very decent for about $8 or $9 a bottle.
