Thanks so much for your reply, and I do recognize some of those names
from the list but they aren't exactly the same. I found a Doña Paula
but it is something called Doña Paula Los Cardos. I also have some of
the Bodega Jacques Francois Lurton but it only says Valle de uco
Mendoza and nothing else. I am going to go with my original guess
when I say these are some of the lower end products of the vineyards?
You heard of these before?
The Los Cardos is acceptable, I think.
