This week we presented a selection of our new Premium Spanish wines. Paired of course with three beautiful Spanish cheeses from Sabato. On arrival was the Gran Claustro 2012 Brut Nature Cava from Perelada. This premium Cava originated in 1956 after a visit from President Eisenhower. We followed with four wonderful wines from Bierzo in the Northwest. A Godello and three stunning Mencia from Alvraro Palacios. These sit somewhere in style between a high end Pinot Noir and a Barbaresco. The second flight was all about Tempranillo, one from Toro, two from Rioja, and the final wine from Ribera del Duero (In Magnum no less). Everything showed the sheer level of quality and value coming out of Spain right now.
