Greetings!
Spain: Cervantes, Penelope Cruz, tapas and some of the most delightful and delicious wines in the world. We are pleased to offer you six Spanish wines from the importer José Pastor, including one from the Canary Islands. These wines leave me with the same feeling I get when watching a film by Pedro Almodovor – sheer pleasure.

Spain is a diverse country, with over a dozen languages spoken in addition to Spanish. There’s even more diversity, however, in the wines. Try these and you will see for yourself -- no two are alike.
¡Viva España!

2009 Tajinaste Blanco (Canary Islands)
Made from 100% Listan Blanco, also known as Palomino, this delightful white has a flavor profile of pear and apple, with an emphasis on the pear. It is delicate and sensual. The amount of effort that goes into growing these grapes is truly spectacular, and the payoff is in the bottle. To truly appreciate how special this wine is, please click here to see a picture of the vineyard where it’s grown.
$14/bottle, $151.20/case w/10% discount
2009 Primitivo Quiles Cono 4 (Alicante)
This was one of our favorites from our very first offer two years ago, so we’ve brought it back! The Cono 4 is made from the Mourvèdre grape as it is known in France and the United States. In Spain it’s known as Monastrell. This wine is like someone you meet at a party who you want to see again -- easily approachable and welcoming. I’m not one to judge a book by its cover, but I must admit to having a soft spot for the old style label.
$12.00/bottle, $129.60/case w/10% discount
2010 Bielsa Tinto Vinas Viejas Garnacha (Aragon)
There is no pretense to this delicious wine that was also part of our first offer. It is made from the Grenache grape and is truly built for comfort. This dry red is soft and delicate, plush and elegant. It brings to mind cherries. Some friends who sampled it recently had this to say: “fruity but not sweet”, “the flavor goes and goes” and “ooh, that’s nice!” We agree.

2010 Vera de Estenas Bobal (Utiel-Requena)
Bobal is an indigenous Spanish grape from the Mediterranean coast. This wine has the qualities of an old style California Cabernet. It’s got grip and will hold your attention like Penelope Cruz does on the screen. It’s perfectly suited to a rich meal.
$13.50/bottle, $145.80/case w/10% discount
2009 Verasol TN Tempranillo (Navarra)
Here we have more treble than bass. The TN is racy, with hints of Chinese five spice and peppercorn. It’s a vibrant, tasty number that we think you’ll enjoy. It’s so easy to drink, that you can toss the cork once you’ve opened it.
$12.00/bottle, $129.60/case w/10% discount
2009 Galgueira Mencia (Galicia)
Although the Mencia grape is indigenous to Spain, this wine has a Syrah like profile. It has a beautiful purplish color, and notes of white pepper. It’s pleasantly spicy, and imminently approachable. I would have brought this wine as my prom date had it been allowed.
