A Spanish Wine & Tapas Party

Take a leisurely gastronomic stroll (a tapeo) with us. We will drink terrific Spanish wines and, with each one, we will have a savory treat (a tapa) selected for synergy with the wine. Don’t miss this gathering, because you won’t get another party like this short of going to Spain! Here’s the menu... wines selected by James Brooke, tapas created by Lorraine and Will Riley:

  1. Domecq, Manzanilla Sherry with chicken liver tapenade
  2. Vionta, Albari–o with guacamole
  3. Cristalino, Rose Brut Cava with garlic shrimp
  4. Tapeña, La Mancha Crianza with Catalan albondingas (meat balls)
  5. Montecillo, Rioja Crianza with olive tapenade stuffed mushrooms
  6. Pedro Ximénez Sherry with blue cheese stuffed dates

Also, there will be mixed olives, toasted almonds, and various breads. All the foods will be in good quantity; you’ll not leave thirsty or hungry. We bet after this experience, you will start planning your own trip to Spain to have more of their great wines and foods.
