Tonight's tasting offers an incomparable opportunity to sample a range of great wines from the country's top regions, including:

A lovely, fresh, aromatic blend of Godello ("go-DAY-oh") and Treixadura ("TRAY-juh-do-rah) from a newly-recognized region in Spain's northwest corner
A knockout, 91-Point Tempranillo from Toro that sells for a song
The gorgeous, 90-Point Rioja Gran Reserva from the outstanding 2001 vintage from Bodegas LAN
A brand new, 90-Point Crianza from Ribera del Duero

Best of all, despite the caliber of tonight's wines, everything sells for less than $25! The wines will be paired with a selection of cheeses and chocolates, including just-arrived organic chocolates from Taza!
