"Four Spanish Values from four D.O's "
This week, we have assembled 4 wines from Spain that we think are great representations of their D.O.'s ("denominaciones de origen"): Bierzo, Rias Baizas, Jumilla, Priorat.
We will be pouring these on Saturday, and have some special pricing this week on these wines.
Spanish Tasting!

2010 VIONTA ALBARINO (RIAS BAIXAS) -REG $16.99 NOW $11.99!
"Bright straw. Lime, lemongrass and white flowers on the nose and palate. Dry and precise but shows good heft and breadth, offering juicy pear and citrus flavors and a hint of white pepper. Finishes with good cut, grip and length, the pear note repeating." Perfect with fish, great value for quality Albarino!!
2011 OLIVARES ROSE' (JUMILLA) -REG $12.99 NOW $8.99
The 2011 Rose's are starting to arrive, hurray! This is a gem from a great maker in Jumilla, and it is 70% Monestrell and 30% Syrah. Perfect for patio and grill with a chill, it has a wonderful mouth-feel and over-delivers!!
2009 DESCENDIENTES DE J. PALACIOS "PETALOS" (BIERZO) REG $24.99 NOW $19.99
"This polished red shows density and harmony, with complex, well-integrated flavors of mineral, wild berry, fresh herbs and smoke. Not showy, but has character." 100% Mencia gfrom old vines. WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS and "26 out of 2011 "Top 100" (also 90+ scores from Parker and Tanzer)
2010 CAMINS DEL PRIORAT (PRIORAT) - REG $23.99 NOW 19.99
Always a great value among the often-pricey-but-special Priorat wines, this new vintage is no exception: sexy, perfumed nose of flowers, minerals and red fruits. Lively, fresh & juicy palate. Long, sappy finish. Nice.
