Robust reds or crisp whites, refreshing rosés, sparkling cavas or luxe sherries – you’ll find plenty to choose from!

Wines:

1.Nora Albarino, Riax Baiax 15.99  Silvia’s Favorite

Fruity, with notes of pear and white flowers, such as honeysuckle. The varietal aromas of the Albarino varietal and mineral of the soil are emphasized in this wine. On the palate, it's well-structured, full-bodied and very elegant.

 

2.Bodegas Obalo Rosato, Rioja 12.99

The elegant nose combines wild strawberry and white fruits, alongside floral notes made up mainly of roses. Soft yet surprisingly structured in the mouth, balanced by fresh fruity notes and a touch of citrus.

 

3. Quo Gastiago Garnacha , Campo de Borja 12.99  The Wildcard!

Cherry red color with violet hues. Clean and bright aromas of red fruits, with floral and spice notes. Bold, well structured and balanced in the mouth with ripe fruit flavors. Fine tannins and a long finish. 

 

4.Mano a Mano Tempranillo 10.99

Deep ruby, powerful raspberry and cherry liqueur aromas, along with hints of flowers and allspice. Smooth and full with a seamless and long finish with spiciness and a surprising tannic note at the very end.

 

5.Bodegas Obalo  Rioja Riserva 29.99

92p S. Tanzer:

“Bright violet, intensely perfumed bouquet displays blackberry, dark chocolate, anise and tobacco. It shows ripe yet fresh dark berry and cherry flavors along with a firm mineral backbone. It has a vibrant finish that is focused and lingering with floral and spicy qualities.”

 

Wines will be accompanied by a selection of cheeses, crackers, artisanal breads &olive oil. The cost for one flight (a sample of each of the wines) will be $15. No reservations required. Cash only please.
