Vino de la Tierra de Castilla

I bought a bottle of wine today that I haven't tried before. It's a Spanish white, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Casa Solar Blanco, 2003. I've not had a lot of Spanish wines and never a white. I find their reds to be very good, very old fashioned classic flavor.

It's a nice summer wine, light and crisp but nothing special. I should have gone with a sauvignon blanc, which is what I was orginally considering.

    I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****)
