Virtual Spanish Wine Tasting – April 27

I will be doing a virtual Spanish Wine Tasting on April 27 starting at 8:00 PM Eastern. The wines that we will be drinking are listed below. All of them should be available through Wine.com. I suggest you order them right away to have them for the tasting.

If you are interested in joining this wine tasting, send me an email at bill@billwinetravelfood.com with your email address and I will send you the Google Go To Meeting link that we will be using. You are also welcome to send me any questions regarding this wine tasting to that address.

These are the wines for my Spanish Wine Tasting.  I an planning on an hour but I have it blocked for 90 minutes if we have a lot of discussion. 

• 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 Rectoral de Amandi Matilda Nieves Mencia 2020 – $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 currently on sale for $16 at Wine.com.  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 and all the major reviewers say that the very best red wine from Spain is from this region.  

I hope you join us.
