Does this name ring a bell? We picked up a bottle at our Sams Club last week $10.00, went
back today to get more and they are sold out!
We thought it was delicious, but wonder how it rates in Spain? It has an elegant white label and gold wire all around.

It´s a good wine. What kind of grapes were used? Tempranillo?

Yummmmmmy..... I love it!

Their official website is @ http://www.marquesderiscal.com/ but seems to be "down" right now.

If you're around a Trader Joe's they sell it there.

Marques de Riscal is one of the two founders of what we know today as Rioja. As far as I know they have three wines:
Reserva M de R
Gran Reserva M de R
and Barón de Chirel which is one of the greatest Riojas.

I suppose you sampled the Reserva one but I can´t believe the price 10$!!? I am almost 100% sure it is from 12 eur on in Madrid ¿??

Marqués de Riscal is an average/good wine, very known and therefore, somewhat expensive. However it seems you got a bargain. 10$ is an incredible price for that wine in the States, and certainly you will get a very good wine in comparison to french or italian wines.

Worth of it. If you can get more at that price don't think it twice.

10,9eur(taxes included): ( click here for information on "La Vinia")

Andrés, La Vinia is one of the most expensive places to buy wine in Madrid

But as an orientative price is useful.

I am pretty sure it is around $8.99 at Trader Joe's.

Trader Joe's carries about 4 different red wines from Spain and always 1 and sometimes 2 whites. The wine ranges from about $3 to $12. They also have a couple of different types of cava.

I have also found wine and cava from Spain at Cost Plus, but usually more expensive.

Hi Floroz,
Your neighbor to the north, here. I buy this wine and the White and Rose vintages at ABC liquors, I believe there is one in Fort Myers or Ft. Myers Beach.

It is not very expensive, the Red usually sells for $12.00; the white and rose around 5.99 to 6.99.

They are very nice wines from Rueda. I use the white as a cooking wine because it leaves a very flavorful aroma, and the rose is my favorite.

Saludos,
