Spanish wine has so much to offer from delicious and inexpensive bottles for every day of the week to some of the most age-worthy and renowned wines of the world.


Since Spain is a peninsula and the climate varies widely from region to region, we wanted to show the diversity of Spain. We teamed up with Drake McCarthy, an importer of some of our favorite Spanish wines available in the Bay Area, to take you on a tour of Spain from a crisp and bright Albariño, to a more richly textured white with just a bit of skin contact, then onto a classic more earthy Rioja, and finish with two very hearty reds from Priorat and Toro. 


As part of the European Union, the wine labeling system in Spain is fairly similar to France and Italy. Most Spanish wines carry the Denominación de Origen (DO), which is the equivalent of an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in France. On top of Spanish “wine chain” is Denominación de Origen Calificada (which can be abbreviated on a label as DOCa, DOC or DOQ). There are only two DOCs: Rioja and Priorat, which we will feature in our exciting line up.


Continue to recheck our schedule, as we’re always adding new exciting events to our list; details are posted as they become available. These events are open to everyone, and the only cost is for the flight of the wine. Mark your calendar, and see you there! 


All Fight Night and tasting events will be held at the Southern Patio area.

No more than 8 people per party. Must be 21+
