Viva Spanish Vino
Used to be that the only Spanish wine you could get was the one with the little plastic bull hanging from the bottle. Or worse, sangria. These days, wines from Spain are not only great values, many of them are great wines. There are now 67 wine-producing regions in Spain, most of them recognized for the high-quality and distinctive wines they produce. Don’t know your Duero River Valley from your Andalucía? Now, there’s a handy, authoritative guide to Spanish wine, complete with photos, tasting notes and history on more than 180 wines, including many you’ve seen on local shelves: Wrongo Dongo, Vertvs and Freixenet from the Mediterranean Coast; Marquès de Riscal and Finca Sobreño from the Duero River Valley; or, our favorites, those from the Rioja and Navarra regions in the Ebro River Valley, like Garnacha de Fuego, Borsao and Gran Feudo Rosado. With honest assessments of the regions and clear tasting notes by Master Sommelier Doug Frost, this is one book to have in your collection, even if it weren’t free.
