The Spanish wine industry has been on a tear for the last two decades. Old vineyards have been revived, other vineyards have been re-planted to more exciting grape varieties, and young winemakers have embraced the newest technologies and techniques while still respecting their noble winemaking traditions. A wide selection of wines from around the Iberian Peninsula will be tasted. Join us tonight to taste and feel the excitement!
