Spanish Wine - 2009

[Richard Kilgore]

What Spanish wines are you drinking this year? Tasting notes or not. Favorite regions and vineyards. Questions and discussion.

I'll kick it off with a couple.

Are some lessor known -- in the US -- regions now making it into the US?

How is the global financial situation influencing Spanish wine makers and export to other countries, and thus availability to us?

We've been discussing it some here, over in Spirits & Cocktails, as an ingredient, but I've also been exploring Sherry for its own sake, as well. Loving the Sandeman's Character Amontillado right now, so delicious with a snack or in a cocktail as well. And how can you beat $15/btl for wine that doesn't go bad (well ok maybe eventually it will).
