Learning points:
- The major grape varieties and wine regions of Spain including Tempranillo from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, the refreshing Albariño from Rias Baixas, and the iconic Garnacha-based blends of Priorat among others.
- The major characteristics of these regions and varieties by tasting wines that clearly show the classic grapes and the typical style.
- Important Spanish wine terms on the labels, and how to interpret them to make an educated guess about how the wines will taste.
- How to ask the right questions about Spanish wines when you visit a wine shop or when you see them on a wine list at a restaurant.
- The ways in which Spanish cheese and wine can elevate your tasting experience when combined.
- Pairing suggestions for Spanish wines and the principles behind these suggestions.
Wines:
- A minimum of six different Spanish wines. Each wine will come from a different region or made from different varieties so you can learn how the climate, geographic, and historic grapes influence a distinctive style.
- As learning is an important goal, we serve each wine in a different glass, with all six glasses on the table for each participant. This is a great opportunity for comparison.
Food: We will have a selection of artisanal Spanish cheeses to enjoy with the wines.
