Spanish Wine!

Got an email from the state liquor store the other day announcing Spanish and German wines are one sale from Feb. 25 to March 30.  I'm always happy to see Spanish wine go on sale.  My absolute favorite value wine is Hoya de Cadenas -- a fantastic tempranillo with a big, bold Spanish taste.  It goes well with everything (everything that's not wimpy and pallid flavor-wise, anyhow, but who wants to eat something like that to begin with?) and  you can get it for under $10.  I brought some to a wine tasting party a few years back.  One of the activities was a blind price estimation - everybody had to guess and then the person who'd brought the wine revealed the name and price.  Nobody guessed under $20 on this one -- and that was a few years back!  If you haven't met tempranillo wines yet, you should, and this is a great introduction.  ¡Salud, amigos!
