Taste the wines of Spain through the prism of famed importer European Cellars, focused on “Place over Process”. We will taste through 8 stunning Spanish wines.


2010 Burgans Albarino, Rias Baixas- 
 The 2010 Burgans Albarino delivers notes of lemon, peach, mineral, and a hint of tropical fruit aromas.
90/100 Wine Advocate $13.99

2009 Pena das Donas Almalarga Godello, Ribera Sacra- 
Medium straw-colored with an expressive nose of wet stone, apple, pear, white peach, and spring flowers, on the palate it displays a Chablis-like personality with an extra dimension of fruit, great concentration. 
92/100 Wine Advocate $19.99


2009 Jimenez Landi Sotorrondero, Mentrida- 
 Smoked meat, game, and wild black and blue fruit aromas jump from the glass of this Cote-Rotie look-alike. Plush bordering on opulent, this sensual beauty can be enjoyed now and should continue to drink well for another 6-8 years. 
92/100 Wine Advocate $19.99


2009 Finca Villacreces “Pruno”, Ribera del Duero- 
Opaque purple in color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of earthy minerality, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits.

2006 Finca Villacreces, Ribera del Duero- 
The nose displays a brooding aromatic array of Asian spices, damp earth, mineral, blackberry, and violets.

2004 Izadi El Regalo Reserva, Rioja-
Purple-colored, the wine has an excellent perfume of toasty oak, pencil lead, mineral, and blackberry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, firm wine with enough structure to permit 3-4 years of further evolution 
90+/100 Wine Advocate $28.99



2006 Bodegas Orben “Orben”, Rioja- 
This is the debut wine for Bodegas Orben. It is 100% Tempranillo sourced from vines ranging in age from 55 to 63 years from more than 75 micro-parcels. It offers up a superb kinky, sexy perfume of toasty oak, pencil lead, leather, black cherry, and blackberry 
93/100 Wine Advocate $33.99


2007 Nit de Nin, Priorat- 
 Dense purple-colored, it gives up a soaring and complex bouquet of Asian spices, mineral, incense, espresso, black cherry, and plum. Silky-textured while combining elegance with power, this full-bodied effort will evolve for another 3-4 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2027.
