Staff Pick Notes

Sometimes I’m in the mood for a richer, more full-bodied white wine than a Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño—this Muga Blanco checked that box for me. While not as rich as a Napa Chardonnay, it expresses its oak aging in a subtle yet defining way, and its extended lees contact gives it complexity and a smooth mouthfeel. It is made from 70% Viura, which is often compared to Chardonnay in that it serves as a winemaker’s canvas in many ways. Leave it to this master winemaker to create an accessible and versatile white that pairs well with almost any seafood or chicken dish.

Blanco

White tequila, an official type (tipo) for tequila bottled fresh from the still, or allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to sixty days before bottling. It is never aged in wooden barrels. Also known as plata, plato, and silver tequila. Usually the most robust, strong-flavoured of the tequila types.

Rioja

The origin of Spanish winemaking, Rioja has been the benchmark for Spanish wines in the international market for over two hundred years, and remains so to this day. Tempranillo is the star of the red wines here, though its expression can vary wildly from producer to producer. Traditionally-styled Riojas tend to be subtle and soft, and often have high levels of acidity to ensure their survival through the lengthy ageing process. The more modern producers are making powerful, dark,...
