First round of wine club in the books. My goal for this wine club is to give you three essentials anyone ahould know when it comes to a region, theme or style. Think of it as my 30 second elevator pitch. For April, we took a tour through Spain with Albarino from Rias Baixas, a classic Rioja and a Grenache-based Montsant representing the New Spain. Detailed notes included for each bottle. For members wanting a deeper exploration, we included the Laurel Priorat from the legendary producer of Clos Erasmus.
