New Week – New Arrivals
Spain Edition
Spain offers a huge variety of wines and styles. Check out three new arrivals from three of our favorite producers. The Torello Mata Reserva Cava is a mainstay, and the 2016 is a fantastically elegant and crisp sparkler. Bernabeleva is back with a Beaujolais-killer, providing Spain can craft lighter-bodied reds that are perfect for the patio. The Jorge Ordonez is a winner for lovers of big, bold reds. You’ll want a case or two for BBQs all summer long.

It seems nearly impossible for any winery to have collected the scores and praise that Clos Erasmus has, while still being available for purchase in the open market. Since the turn of the century, their flagship wine has scored over 96 points fifteen times—from the Wine Advocate alone! That’s across multiple critics (Robert Parker to Luis Guitierrez) who have all recognized the impressive class and iconic power of one of Spain’s greatest wines.
