Virtual Spanish Wine Tasting?

Would anyone be interested in joining a virtual Spanish wine tasting?  Maybe in late March?  I did an 18 day Spanish wine tasting trip in September and found some great wines that I really love.   Below are five wines that Wine.com shows as in stock.  Check if they show as in stock and available to you and let me know.  These may be totally new wines to you, especially the two Mencia red wines that I had never heard of before taking this trip.

Spanish Wine regions
  • La Cana Albarino 2021 – $17: a dry white wine from the Atlantic coast of Spain, just over the border from Portugal.  Fantastic seafood wine.
  • Bodegas Vatan Nisia Verdejo 2021 – $17: Spain’s best white wine from the Rueda region very close to the famous Rioja region
  • Bodegas Avancia Cuvee de O Mencia 2018 – $16: First of two different red wines made with the Mencia grape.  This is a very nice table wine that got over 90 points from multiple reviewers but is under $20.  Mencia is a little like Cabernet Franc, a great wine that is almost unknown.
  • Bodegas Raul Perez Ultreia Saint Jacques 2020 – $26: A second Mencia that is a step up, 94 points, to give you two samples of this great grape.
  • Bodegas Valderiz Ribera del Duero 2019 – $34: The best known wine from Spain is the red wine from the La Rioja region right along the Duero river.  But right next to that region, just down the river, is the Ribera Del Duero region. All the major reviewers say that the very best red wine from Spain is from this region.

We have not had a virtual wine tasting for a while. Please let me know in comments or via email response you are interested. If there is enough interest to do this one, I will get it scheduled and send out an invitation. I think you will really enjoy these wines.

I will not be recording this and publishing it on youtube as I did with two of the wine tastings we did last year. It was a lot of work to take the virtual session and turn that into a video that I could post on youtube and the viewership of those videos was very limited so not worth the effort required.

  1. Thanks for the message, Bill. I love your posts and have read all of them, but I would likely not do a virtual wine tasting. But please keep the posts coming. Dave
