Glass 8 | Bottle 32
ITSAS MENDI TXAKOLI 2006
The Hondarrabi Zuri grape - native to the Basque area - is virtually unheard of andabsolutely delicious. The nose reveals both herbal and floral notes with a bit of crushed stone and tropical undertones. Its medium body is bright with acids and practically dances on thetongue toward the finish. Drink with all manner of seafood - it’s outstanding!

EL ORIGINAL BAJOZ 2007
This almost forgotten DO is now exploding with excellent wines at amazingly low prices. The Bajoz is one of those wines. Made of 75% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) and 25% old vine Garnacha, this red has a spicy, fruity aroma combined with ripe cherry and raspberry flavors, a hint of licorice and smooth tannins.

CAPCANES PANSAL DEL CALÁS 2003
This late harvest dessert red is in a class all its own. The dark purple color in the glassleads to well-balanced flavors of fig, prune, scorched earth, oak, toffee and blackberry jam.Not only does it pair perfectly with Chef Grace’s flourless chocolate cake, but also withany dish containing either aged or blue cheeses. A must try wine for wine enthusiasts! Parker and Tanzer - 91 points.

PRIORAT y MONTSANT
Spain’s greatest reds may some day be made in these regions where the craggy soil ofthe mountains is home to steep terraced vineyards. Very old vine Garnacha and Carinena combine with newer plantings of Merlot, Cab, and Syrah to make riveting wines with huge fruit and subtle spice.

RIBERA DEL DUERO

RIOJA
The most highly regarded region in Spain. Rioja, made principally from Tempranillo, is a very complex wine with the texture and complexity of Bordeaux but with adustiness and earthy character all its own. Traditionally served with lamb,this style of wine pairs well with any red meat.

OTHER DENOMINACIONS
Spain’s greatest values are to be had in regions which until recently had been primarily producing bulk wines from old vines using ancient methods. The advent of modern vinification technology has allowed winemakers to take full advantageof these incredible raw materials and produce some interesting and exciting wines.
