Catavino: How to Enjoy a nice Spanish wine

  • Lar Veale · 1 year ago
    I've had my fair share of Spanish wine and I LOVE it! From Ribera del Duero to Priorat, Somontano, Rias Baixas, Rioja (white and red), it's been all good.

    Coincidentally, I tried a "new" Spanish wine last night that I picked up at Sam's Wine Shop (thanks for the tip, btw). It's called Fidelium from Navarra and it's a blend of Merlot (55%), Cabernet, (30%) Grenache (20%) and Tempranillo (15%). Not a traditional Spanish blend, but an excellent wine for the price. I had the '03 and it's drinking beautifully right now. Very rich with a long tasty finish. Maybe a tad overripe, but at the price and overall quality, I'm not going to complain.

    Bill - that sounds like a great wine. Any wine that can deliver 120% is OK with me

    Just made me think of a new "How to" that covers enjoying Spanish wine and remaining functional at the office. A glass of wine would certainly make my Friday afternoon in front a computer a lot more pleasant.
