Spain is one of the word’s largest wine-producing regions. It comprises most of the Iberian Peninsula with a divergence of cultures, climates and, por supuesto, types of wine. There are many notable styles from all over the country, ranging from traditional viticulture to modern and methodical, to rustic, value driven and food friendly young table wines to well aged prized vintages. Not to mention some venerable expressions of methode champenoise and the range of dessert, sherries and fortified wines from salty, dry Manzanillas to candylike Pedro Ximinez soleras.

Not sure about the vintage. Lightly sour-sweet and smoky aroma. Flavor is very tannic - wood, a little chili, green vegetables. My first time trying this grape so it was a little unusual, but not too exciting. Read More

Fairly pricey for me, but a quite enjoyable sherry. Aroma of alcohol, grapes, & a little stone fruit. Flavor is pleasantly dry & sour, with a warming finish. Grape juice, a dash of vinegar, a twist of lemon. Nice. Read More

2011 vintage, highly recommended by Mr. Parker, although it is not under $10 like he said. Maybe the price shot up after his recommendation? Sweet fruit compote with soft tannins and dash of sourness. Not complex but very good right out of the bottle, notably worse the next day. Read More

Hi everyone!Yes, OT, ACME is GREAT! One of my best stops of the ... was a cool iron gate from Spain, circa 1600, and tons of stuff from William Randolph Hearst's warehouses in SF, that were here on consignment. I had a wonderful visit with one of the ladies working here while sipping my wine. Seems that Hearst was a hoarder, and he basical... Read More

Portugal is not Spain!!! Portugal is a country since 1143! The first branded site vineyard in the entire world was Douro region, in Portugal. Update your site, please! Your data are wrong!

Woops, I incorrectly stated below that the region was Lleida. Lleida is simply one of the larger towns close to Tomas Cusine winery. The wine region is actually Costers del Segre. Either way it's a very nice spot and I would recommend it to anyone!

Just visited the Lleida region while driving from Madrid to Barcelona with my girlfriend, and we visited the Tomas Cusine winery in Vilosell, Spain. Tomas, the owner, is a super-nice guy and he is doing some really, really nice wines. Two red blends, the Vilosell and the Geol, were both poured for us and they were great! The Geol especially is a...
