Staff Pick Notes

In the mid-20th century, the Verdejo grape almost became extinct. But it was saved by the development of tourism in Spain, no matter how strange it sounds. Tourists from the beaches of Mallorca and Costa Brava needed something fresh and crisp. And Verdejo became that hero. In the 1970s, big Spanish producers began developing a new style of white wine based on Verdejo with the help of French oenologist Émile Peynaud. This wine is now a globally recognized representative of the Verdejo grape and the Denominación de Origen Rueda. That wine is full of citrus notes, stone fruits and has a fantastic minerality.

Herbaceous notes in the wine and ripe flavors on the palate will play off of similar flavors in the dish.

In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Rueda

Located just east along the Duero River from the Ribera del Duero, this region is widely known for its delicious Verdejo based white wines.

For inexpensive quaffing wines - think summertime and ceviché - one need look no further.
