1st Course

Spaghetti with Spicy Shrimp with Pil Pil Sauce

Wine-Biutiful Cava Brut Rose NV, Catalonia

“Dark garnet to the eye, this wine has a nose of brambly fruits of the wood with a hint of summer farm stand. It is savory on the palate, with notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, coffee bean, roasted yellow pepper that are backed by flavors of pomegranate and cherry. Slightly grippy tannins make for a pleasantly chewy finish.”

2nd Course

Chicken Empanada

Romesco Sauce

Wine-Legado des Moncayo Garnacha “Montana”, Campo de Borja

“Showing off its dark core, this delivers good depth and concentration with smoked meats, kumquat rind and dense red fruits with salty minerals and brilliant tension on the palate. A killer buy at under 20 dollars USD, enjoy now and over the next few years.”

Entrée

Chorizo Paella

Wine-Finca la Mata Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero

“Packed tight with power and minty, earthy berry aromas that come with a dry dustiness. Feels ripe and proper, with a slight tannic grab and full but fresh flavors of wild berry, cassis, cocoa and oak. On the finish, chocolate and dry spice flavors take over, yielding a pleasant, complete whole.”

Dessert
