A late e-mail reminded me that on June 18, the Spanish Wine Festival 2009 brings the Iberian Peninsula to the heart of New York:
"More than 150 of the best Spanish wine selections available on the US market. Every major wine region will be represented, including such classics as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat and Sherry, and hot emerging regions like Toro, Bierzo, Jumilla and more. Live Spanish music, as well as authentic Spanish cuisine and tapas will complement the star-studded range of wines."
Amongst those served, according to PJ Wine (the event sponsor) will be"
Many of the most highly acclaimed wines of the year such as Wine Advocate 100 point sensation Benjamín Romeo Rioja “Contador;” top Ribera del Dueros Vega Sicilia “Unico,” Pingus “Pingus,” and Alto “PS;” Priorat great “Clos Erasmus;” “Clos Mogador;” Jumilla knockout El Nido “El Nido;” a mini-vertical of R.
