Stay tuned for fun on the road! I am heading out to New York City tonight for vacation and would be remissed if I did jam pack my trip full of Spanish wine events. Well, I promise not to disappoint. In between the jaunts to the Village and the hustle and bustle of Times Square I will have the opportunity to partake of A LOT of great Spanish wine. Following is how the schedule is panning out so far:

  • Ribera del Duero Grand Tasting – this is a four-hour event where more than 90 classic and boutique wineries will showcase more than 400 wines. (I know, I know. You are thinking I probably won’t make it past 300 – but I’ll do my best!)
  • Vega Sicilia VIP Seminar – I am fortunate enough to have received a seat at an invite-only event featuring the wines of Vega Sicilia – one of Spain’s premier wineries selling some of the country’s most expensive wines.
  • Winemaker Event at Chelsea Wine Vault – Nacho Arzuaga of Bodegas Arzuaga (love this wine!) will be leading a tasting of the estates high caliber wines.
  • D.O. Manchuela will be making it’s first U.S. presentation – I am still waiting for confirmation that this event is still taking place.
  • Finally, I will be doing a tapas crawl for my birthday! New York City is famous for the sheer number and diversity of it’s restaurants. I have chosen three Spanish tapas bars in Chelsea where I can eat and drink my birthday away!

I will do my best to get the posts up on these events (and any others that might pop up) as soon as possible.  Have a great week!

¡Life short. Drink great wine!  (Did I say 400 wines?!)
