Re Lustau: only the Almacenista top-end range is really top-notch. The North American fame of its basic lines is just the result of good distribution and shrewd marketing. If you take a look at our elmundovino tastings (links provided by Ignacio and by myself), you'll see that they are not particularly competitive.

Thanks, Victor. I had thought I had had the surprisingly good bottle of Lustau on a hit or miss basis in the past, but if you say that this is not possible on the basis of some gigantic tasting where wines were scored, then I guess I couldn't have.
 
Yes, the almacenista range is the stuff worth trying from Lustau. Apologies if I wasn't clearer. Gotten very spendy, though.
