Going tomorrow, not sure what to buy yet but Rioja, Malbec, Chablis, Sancerre, and Fino Sherry are probably on the list. Decisions, decisions !
Wines bought today.................Vina Mara Reserva 2007 Baron De Ley Varietales 2009Finest Old Vine Selection GarnachaFinest Douro 2010Simply Malbec (heard some good things about this)Finest manzanilla Sherry (love Manzanilla this time of year).
Nicely done spikedc! I'm a tapas addict (just like my family) and since reading your Sherry & tapas discussion post - http://bit.ly/PwKpTg - I've decided to give the Finest Manzanilla Sherry with homemade tapas a try over the weekend!It may well be my newest favourite pairing! Will keep you posted ;-)
Try some Spanish Serrano ham, Manchego Cheese, Olives with peppers and Anchovies, Fried Squid with onions and Garlic and Spanish omelette, I'm sure they will all complement the Sherry !

Welcome back Ian, nice selection. Hope you enjoy the Côtes Catalanes Carignan, I think Carignan gets a bad press but it's a grape I really like and this bottle is a very nice drink for the price.
