This is the wine to have with tapas. Bright acidity and lively flavors will cut through rich foods and lift the more delicate items. Also delicious as an aperitif.

 Rodriguez "A Torna Dos Pasas"  Ribeiro 2008

This unique wine is made by Louis Rodriguez, a young winemaker working in Spain's Ribeiro region. (Just north of the Portuguese border and south of Rias Baixas. The grapes are Caiño Tinto, Ferrol, Brancellão and are quite rare. The flavors are complex and evoke some Loire or Burgundian characteristics i.e. dark berries, plums, spice and the like. Bright and focused on the finish. This wine is very rare so won't be around too long.

Finca Mirador Priorat 2007

A small, hands on property in Spain's Priorat region. The grapes are old vine Garnacha and Carignan. This is ready to drink now. It shows a smooth texture, medium body and a complex blend of spice and fruit aromas. Not at all heavy like many Priorats tend to be.
