1st Course
Ham and Manchego Croqueta
Romesco Sauce
Wine- Biutiful Cava Brut Rose NV, Catalonia
“Pale orange. A lively, sharply focused nose delivers fresh red berry, blood orange and floral qualities and a subtle mineral overtone. Juicy raspberry, cherry and candied rose flavors show a refreshingly bitter edge and deepen slowly on the back half. Finishes tangy and precise, with a repeating floral note lingering. 2021- 2024” 90 points Vinous; Josh Raynolds – March 2021
2nd Course
Roast Chicken with Garbanzo Beans, Tomatoes, and Paprika
Wine-Vina Moncayo Garnacha, Campo de Borja
“This elegant wine is brilliant ruby to the eye, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, especially red currant and cassis. It has secondary aromas of tobacco, cedar and pencil shavings in the complex bouquet. The tannins are rounded, generous and very silky. It is juicy and full-bodied in the mouth with flavors of ripe red cherry, black raspberry and cassis.”
Entrée
Spanish Braised Pork with Potatoes and Olives
Wine-Finca la Mata Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero
“A graceful red, with a fragrant, brambly edge of wild herbs lacing the ripe red berry, blackberry and cherry fruit flavors. Gains fine definition from light, taut tannins and citrusy acidity, while zesty spice and mineral notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2031. 1,700 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.” 91 points Wine Spectator
