Taste Some Great Spanish Wines

[Craig Camp]

Wines from Spain always does a good job in organizing their tastings and offering a broad range of interesting producers. This years regular "Great Match" tour will donate 100% of the proceeds to local food banks. I always highly recommend these tastings as a great introduction to the broad range of excellent wines being produced in Spain today.

Each Great Match tasting features a comprehensive tasting of more than 200 Spanish wines, representing many of Spain’s 63 denominations of origin. The wines will be paired with an international menu of “tapas,” Spain’s world-famous appetizers, created by leading chefs in each city.
