Trickery!
This grape tricked me. It shouted out from the menu and when it shouted, it shouted “New Grape!” Unfortunately, Cencibel is a grape that is already reviewed in a prior post (see if you can guess by the time the hyperlink shows up below).
Man of La Mancha
Coming from Spain, and from La Mancha, this grape promised to be as new as Don Quixote breaking into the chivalric romance genre in 1605 and 1615 (apparently, it’s two volumes). Turns out, this grape is as known as food to the mouth of Quixote’s erstwhile and gluttonous companion, Sancho Panza. Despite the tantalizing newness promised by the word “Cencibel” and its subsequent unmasking as another Spanish grape, it’s hard to dislike this Cencibel wine.
Here’s the joint description of the grape based on the hemming-and-hawing between my sister and I as we sat at the bar in pre-dinner, not-yet-hungry expectation.

Thank you so much for giving everyone remarkably breathtaking opportunity to read in detail from this web site. It’s usually so nice and jam-packed with a great time for me personally and my office fellow workers to visit your blog at minimum three times per week to learn the fresh stuff you have got. Of course, I am just actually happy with all the remarkable creative ideas served by you. Some two areas on this page are particularly the best we’ve ever had.
