hi arthur

Hope you enjoyed your Rioja.

I am rather partial to Spanish reds myself. I have spent quite a lot of time in Spain and Menorca and have got to know their wines very well !!!

These days as well as Rioja the other Spanish regions produce very drinkable wine at a lower price than many other countries.

I raised a couple of glasses of red to England's performance, nail biting though it was. They always seem to take the most difficult route and make things hard for themselves.

I don't think that they will worry too much that they have to play Germany. I think that they will suit England's style more than Ghana would, although England have never been beaten by an Africa team.

Keep the Rioja on hand on Sunday !!

Regards
