Sinful Spanish Tasting

Here at the Wine Bottega we’ve got all your Valentine’s Day needs taken care of. Reenacting the spaghetti and meatballs scene from Lady and the Tramp? That’s amore! Here’s a nice Chianti. Having a bit of trouble knowing whether your date is The One or not? Have some rosé- it’s not red, it’s not white! But if you’re looking for some heat… If you’re looking to add some sultriness… Well, have we got a line-up for you! From the Basque country and a rustic cider to the rich, heady sweetness of a nearly bygone specialty from Malaga, these are all wines with stories behind them. These wines have personalities that can serve a host of foods- and occasions other than V-Day. But for know, let us spin you some tales and set the mood. So put on the Andrés Segovia, or cue up some flamenco. Good luck, romantics. These are for you.

Zap! Bam! Pow!

Tonight we’ve got a line-up of superheroes- wines that come from humble beginnings and save the day with their uncanny abilities. Big bang for the buck, great to drink on their own or with food, and there’s even some X-ray vision- these wines are windows to their terroir. And since they’re here at the Wine Bottega you know they’re fighting for truth and justice, vanquishing the minions of evil (those wines spewed from the factories at the behest of masked marketing departments and shady multinational conglomerates). In times like these, we need some wines to take a stand. And like a good comic book, we can take comfort that you can still find something for a just a little bit of change that makes the troubles of the day fade away.
