Portugal and Spain - could there be two more dynamic wine scenes in the world today? We think not.
\n\nToday\, Spain has more territory dedicated to vineyards than either France or Italy. Over the past forty years\, advancements in Spain&rsquo\;s wine industry have made it the world&rsquo\;s third largest wine producer. Now Spain is converting an industry built for quantity into a diverse landscape of high quality producers covering more than 70 classified appellations.
\n\nTake a tour of Spain&rsquo\;s diverse and exotic wine regions with us. Discover the countless captivating qualities of Spanish wine. Come along with us on Vuelta a Españ\;a!
\n\nFrom its cheerful and delicious pueblo wines to the ageworthy masterpieces of its grandest estates\, from the aromatic Albariñ\;os of Rí\;as Baixas in Galicia to the classic Riojas of the Ebro River Valley\, from the joyful Cavas of the Penedes in the northeast to the complex Sherries of Jerez in the southwest\, we&rsquo\;ll taste\, explore and experience all of the rich beauty of Spain&rsquo\;s long love affair with wine.
\n\nOver the past decade or more Portugal has seen a revolution in Portugal&rsquo\;s winemaking. As Frederico Falcã\;o\, President of ViniPortugal recently pointed out\, Portugal&rsquo\;s wine farming for the&\;nbsp\;future\, return to indigenous varieties\, and innovative winemakers are bringing Portugal&rsquo\;s world of wine diversity to the world. Falcã\;o noted that for consumers growing tired of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay (and equally\, for those who can&rsquo\;t get enough of them)\, Portugal is &ldquo\;definitely the country to explore\,&rdquo\;&\;nbsp\; thanks to its countless indigenous grape varieties and broad styles of winemaking.
\n\nWe&rsquo\;ve been watching this revolution for quite some time and can assure you - Portugal&rsquo\;s wine scene is absolutely dramatic\, and you will be stunned by its dry red and white wines&mdash\; but only if you come and taste with us!
\n\nIn addition to some of our favorite importers and distributors\, we'\;ll also have representatives from some of Spain'\;s most prestigious bodegas\, including Vega Sicilia\, Clos Mogador\, and CUNE.
\n\nStay tuned as we finalize the over 50 bottles we'\;ll be pouring!
\n\nTicket price will be credited to purchase of 12 bottles or more at the Festival!
