huevos con vino

A great theme once again: “Passionate” Spanish wines.  Nice!  I love Spanish wines and I am looking forward to seeking out a worthy bottle for this tasting.  This time the host is Wine-Girl.net, a good blog with a great wine rating system.  Head over there and check it out!

The stipulations for WBW #35 are few but noteworthy:

• Less than $10/bottle is a primary goal, and I will do my best to adhere to this goal
• Wine from a region other than Rioja is a secondary goal (lesser-known regions deserve attention too!)
• Red or white, it doesn’t matter…or perhaps a rosé is just the thing

I am leaning toward an Albarino such as the one from Serra da Estrela, which I already know I like quite a lot.  But I need to pick something new, and I know just the place in Seattle to look for a good Spanish wine: The Spanish Table.  This place has a great selection of Spanish wines, red and white, many at budget-conscious prices too.  Plus, I need some more Matiz smoked sea salt, and TST has the stuff at a decent price.  Talk about a secret weapon in the kitchen….

Anyway, I think I’ll pay a visit to TST on my way home tonight to see what sort of selection they have for strange Spanish white wines.  A rosé is tempting too.  We’ll see what they have.

The deadline is July 11, which is also my wife’s birthday.  I guess I had better get that review done early…again.
