We cordially invite you to join us for a special wine-tasting dinner with Bodega Arrocal, Grapes of Spain, and Arrow Wine and Cheese Shop on Sunday, February 26th from 5:30 to 9:00 in the evening at SER Restaurant.


Our guests will enjoy a six-course menu prepared by Chefs David Sierra and David Cardona exclusively for this event. Each course will be paired with Bodega Arrocal illustrious wines. Throughout the dinner, Rodrigo the Owner of the Winery will explain the wines being served and discuss the winemaker's philosophy on using indigenous grapes throughout Spain to produce some of the most high-quality wines in the world. Please scroll down to view our dinner menu for the evening.


About Bodega Arrocal: In the province of Burgos, there is a village called Gumiel de Mercado, a privileged place situated of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, since it has always been a town with a wine-growing tradition. Its structure is medieval and in the center of the town, there is a hill where our ancestors excavated the underground cellars to elaborate and preserve their wines.


We currently have 85 hectares, divided between the native varieties of Tinto Fino (Red) and Albillo Mayor (White). We have a cellar of 600 barrels of which 80% are French oak and the rest of American oak, where our wines grow the necessary time for the structure, without losing their identity.


We bet for the respect to the land and the work of the grapevine of traditional form, continuing with the form of work that we learned of that first generation. The main objective is to follow a sustainable viticulture, a true reflection of quality wines.


With the same affection today, together with our sons Rodrigo and Asier but adapted to the new technologies, we continue to elaborate our wines.


This project began in 1999 when we took over the family vineyard and planted new plots. In 2003 we built the winery and began making our wines. The result of this project, with all its work, effort and excitement, has been ARROCAL – our passion.


$135 per person including tax and gratuity.

About Grapes of Spain: Grapes of Spain, Inc. was established in November 2001, with its first container landing in the United States in the Spring of 2002, representing 8 producers. The company imports wines exclusively from Spain and currently represents 36 producers with a portfolio of 90+ wines from all corners of Spain. All of the wines are new to the U.S. market and are from family winegrowers and that focus only on high quality and limited production.


About Arrowine and Cheese: We are a "neighborhood" store with a national reputation. We taste between 400 and 600 wines a month to select the best wines and wine values for our customers. We travel to the wineries to hand-select what we sell. We carry hard-to-find wines with character and uniqueness that speak of the place that they were grown in. We are about wines that offer "real value." We support artisan wine makers, organic agriculture, and hand harvesting. Our dedicated and passionate staff will cater to customers at any level of interest, consulting with you to select the perfect wine to fit your taste, meal, and budget, whether it's for your book club, wine-tasting club, dinner at home, or to cellar for years.


We can also special order wines for you. All you have to do is ask. Our prices are competitive and often the lowest in the country. We negotiate the best price from distributors and pass those savings along to our customers. And our email offerings provide even greater discounts directly to you. A wine doesn't have to be expensive; it has to offer real value and taste good. Our goal at Arrowine is to foster a welcoming environment that encourages people to explore. It's a place to learn, enjoy, and have fun. Our products need to offer real value and taste good. And we work harder than our competition to bring that to you!


We are looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, February 26th for this exclusive wine tasting dinner.


If you have any questions or any food allergies please let us know in advance. Thank you for your support.
