Glop is a customer favorite in our retail store and it has a very memorable name which means 'sip' or 'gulp' in Catalan.  Glop is an inky red wine from Priorat with deep plum and blackberry flavors perfect for pairing with grilled chorizo or Iberico pork. (Vintage Cellar)

This was another wine I tried yesterday at the Vintage Cellar (as you can probably tell from the above tasting note).  It seemed to be much harsher in the nose than the Novelty Hill.  It was bold with sweet molasses and a hint of sweeter smelling cigar, almost like one of those crappy Black and Milds.  It was a smoother wine that had a light body despite its strong nose.  I expected feel much heavier in the mouth than 

it did (also, that's what she said).  Surprisingly, despite its high 

alcohol content I found very little heat present in the wine.  

Again, there were fruits in it, but like before I couldn't place them.
