<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Spanish Table Seattle Newsletter</p>
<p>September 4, 2009</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/chorizo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-411" title="chorizo" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/chorizo.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>We had the good fortune this week to re-taste some of the excellent current releases of esteemed wine importer Jorge Ordoñez, hosted by National Sales Manager Sara Floyd, M.S.  And best of all, these wines were poured at two of our favorite Spanish restaurants with memorable foods to match.  It was a compelling demonstration of  how a well chosen wine enhances food.  On Wednesday evening at Taberna del Alabardero  (http://www.alabardero.com/seattle/index.html), the meaty Sauteed Pompano with  Almonds and Ham, Navarra style, was fantastic with medium bodied and silky 2002 Sierra Cantabria Reserva Rioja ($19.99).  Apple tart dessert with cabrales ice cream was divine paired with elegant stone-fruit and citrus flavored Victoria Moscatel dessert wine from Malaga ($29.99).</p>
<p>Thursday at noon found us at Olivar (http://www.olivarrestaurant.com/olivar.html) on Capital Hill.   Over three hours, seventeen wines paired with scrumptious tapas served family-style made for a darned good way to spend a rainy afternoon.   Grilled scallops with fried shallots and corn salad paired fantastically with minerally and delicate 2008 La Cana Albariño ($15.99).   2008 Botani dry Moscatel from Sierras de Malaga ($19.99)was a perfect match to matchstick slices of manchego and red apple, tossed together with citrus.</p>
<p>We always leave these restaurants with savory memories and the satisfaction of a great dining experience.  If you can&#8217;t afford a trip to Spain, spend an evening at one of these restaurants and have a taste of Iberia right here at home!</p>
<p>WE WILL BE OPEN ON MONDAY 9/7 (LABOR DAY) FROM 11 AM TO 5 PM.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spanishtablewines.com/categories/White-Wines/">NEW WHITE WINES</a></p>
<p>2008 Botani Moscatel Seco, Sierras de Malaga ($19.99) &#8220;The 2008 Botani is 100% Moscatel de Alejandria fermented 70% in stainless steel and 30% in French oak. Medium straw-colored, it has an alluring perfume of spring flowers, honey, spice box, and tropical fruits. Smooth-textured, ripe, dry, and mouth-filling, this expressive effort is an excellent match for sushi and Thai food.&#8221;  90 points Wine Advocate</p>
<p>2008 Peza do Rei Blanco, Ribera Sacra ($19.99) The region of Ribera Sacra was spotlighted in the July 15, 2009 New York Times and Peza do Rei was singled out as &#8220;delicate and distinctive&#8221;. Available by special order only, we brought in a case after tasting it. A blend of 70% Godello, 20% Treixadura and 10% Albarino, grown on 8 acres of vertiginous south-facing slate terraces, Peza do Rei is unoaked and intensely aromatic.  Lemon peel blends with a touch of tropical fruit in this savory and intensely mineral white.  The finish seems never ending.  Only 4000 bottles produced.   90 points Stephen Tanzer</p>
<p>2008 Shaya, Rueda ($14.99)  Naia  was a customer favorite and it was a sad day when we learned that it would no longer be available.   Importer Jorge Ordonez has replaced Naia with Shaya, a new project with the Gil family of Jumilla.   Produced from old vines, the sandy soils make it possible that many of the vines are over 100 years old and ungrafted.  Grassy aromas with complex grapefruit notes, this balanced white is racy with a persistent finish.   And the same price as Naia!</p>
<p>NEW FOODS</p>
<p>ZOE MEATS BACON  Those of you that have tasted the Zoe Meats Chorizo will be big fans of Zoe&#8217;s  bacon. Dry cured and apple wood smoked, these thick meaty slices of bacon do not shrink when cooked like bacons curied in brine.  Great for BLT&#8217;s!</p>
<p>QUICOS  Giant Crunch Spanish Salted Corn Nuts.  $7.99/lb</p>
<p>PITTED KALAMATA OLIVES</p>
<p>These kalamatas are fleshier and less salty than our previous batch. They are in a red wine brine. Great for salads, omelets and pasta dishes. $8.99/lb.</p>
<p>CASTELLANO CHEESE</p>
<p>This cheese is made throughout the region of Castillo y Leon from milk coming from Churra and Castellana breeds. It is slightly granular with a compact texture, buttery with rich aromas. It is a table cheese that can be enjoyed alone or accompanied by quince, which accentuates its characteristic flavor. $15.99/lb.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spanishtablewines.com">GREAT WINES ON SALE</a></p>
<p>2004 Emilio Moro, Ribera del Duero ($24.99)   Price reduced $5.00!  &#8220;The reasonably priced 2004 Emilio Moro is a terrific Ribera del Duero aged in equal parts French and American oak prior to bottling. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a projected nose of blackberries, currants, cherries, smoky oak, and crushed rocks. Terrific texture, super purity, an opulent, full-bodied palate, and a long, heady finish suggest it will keep for 7-8 years.&#8221;  92 points Robert Parker</p>
<p>2001 Balbas Reserva, Ribera del Duero $32.00, was $38.00  Close out!  Made of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, Balbas is  concentrated and complex.   Sadly, our distributor will no longer be carrying it, so we bought all of the remaining 2001 Reserva, which is drinking beautifully right now.  &#8220;This spicy red shows an alluring mix of ripe fruit, with more mature flavors of tobacco, leather and cedar. The tannins are well-integrated and softening, while the acidity is still fresh and crisp. Elegant and long. Drink now through 2015.&#8221;  93 points Wine Spectator</p>
<p>2005 Numanthia, Toro ($49.00)  Price reduced $11.00!  Made from 70 to 100 year old vines, aged in oak barrels for 18 months, this wine explodes on the palate with flavors of ripe blackberry, vanilla and herbal notes.  &#8220;A deep, youthfully brooding bouquet offers dark cherry, blackcurrant, incense and suave oak spices. Spicy cherry and dark berry flavors show an exotic anise quality and slow-building sweetness. This gently tannic, chewy, extremely persistent wine finishes with echoes of oak spice and floral pastille, not to mention excellent vivacity.&#8221;  93 points Stephen Tanzer, 92 points Wine Advocate</p>
<p>2001 Finca Valpiedra Reserva Rioja ($18.99) Close out price &#8211; was $21.99!  Conde de Valdemar&#8217;s single estate Rioja, Finca Valpiedra is a spectacular 80 hectare plot characterized by pebbles and limestone.  The grapes are hand picked, manually sorted and aged in new French oak for over 12 months. We&#8217;ve always loved this Rioja and when the distributor had to close it out, we bought all of their stock.  Let this breathe for 20 minutes to release its concentrated black cherry flavors.  Earthy with balsalmic notes, Valpiedra has silky tannins and a persistent finish.  Wonderful with lamb chops or paella!</p>
<p>NEW SHIPMENT</p>
<p>Clay Portuguese ceramics.   Olive serving dishes in assorted styles and colors:  brown, white and gray.   They make great gifts!</p>
<p>Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Gomera, Canary Islands</p>
<p>Spanish Table Seattle Newsletter                                  October 30, 2009</p>
<p>Explorations</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/castle.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-374" title="castle" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/castle.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Traveling as wine specialists aboard the National Geographic vessel Explorer for the past 2 ½ weeks, we&#8217;ve been following the route of Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin. Our voyage began in Lisbon and ended in Salvador Brazil, with stops in some of our favorite places: Madeira, The Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. We just got home last night and are still wobbling about on sea legs.</p>
<p>Seattle-based Lindblad Expeditions (http://www.expeditions.com/) invited us to choose wines for the voyage and then come along to educate guests about them. Lindblad has a superb on-board staff of naturalists, historians and professional photographers that speak about history, culture, the natural world and how best to photograph it. Their trips cover the Antarctic, the Arctic, and everything in between.</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/dolphins.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-375" title="dolphins" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/dolphins.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>A week ago we were photographing schools of whales and cavorting dolphins near La Palma, Canary Islands. The Canaries are a group of seven islands less than 100 miles off the coast of Morocco.  Just as Cuban refugees flee to Miami, so the Canary Islands attract thousands of desperate Africans each year.  The lure of the European Community with all of its opportunities is irrestible, especially when it&#8217;s just a stone&#8217;s throw away.</p>
<p>Aside from the immigration issue, life in the Canaries moves slowly and residents have a deep appreciation for the islands&#8217; spectacular beauty. One memorable day began in the mist forest of Parque Nacional de Garajonay on the island of Gomera. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the forest sits on a 3300 foot high ridge and divides the island&#8217;s wet side from the dry. Two hours of hiking took us through laurel forests, past villages growing bananas on terraced hillsides, and a spectacular cliff-side trail shrouded in mist.</p>
<p>Our guide recommended dining at Restaurant La Placeta in Santa Cruz de la Palma which was excellent. Being Sunday night in the off season, the proprietor had plenty of time to talk about the local wines, how he ended up in the Canary Islands, and the thriving rabbit population in La Palma.  We tucked into a terrific rabbit pate as we talked, which was served with a sweet but not cloying tomato jam.  What a fantastic combination! The main course was grilled fish and papas arrugadas with mojo sauces, a Canary Island traditional dish, served with El Nispero Tinto Barrica, a local red wine from La Palma.</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/yum1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-378" title="yum" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/yum1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/yum1.jpg"></a><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/stevewine1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-379" title="stevewine" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/stevewine1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Now that we&#8217;re home, we&#8217;ll be getting back into kitchen to recreate some of the tasty dishes we had along the road. Here&#8217;s a traditional recipe from the Canary Islands:</p>
<p>Papas Arrugadas (Serves four)</p>
<p><a href="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/papas-aragudas.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-380" title="Papas Arrugadas" src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/papas-aragudas.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Warning: This recipe uses the traditional amount of salt, which may be overwhelming to  American palates used to low sodium. Feel free to adjust to your taste!</p>
<p>8-10 Small New Potatoes</p>
<p>Sea Salt to taste</p>
<p>Add the potatoes to a pot of very salty water (in the past the Canarians used sea-water).</p>
<p>The potatoes should float in the salty-water, if they don&#8217;t you need to add more salt.</p>
<p>Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Now drain most of the water from the pot and cover the potatoes with a layer of salt.</p>
<p>Turn down the heat and gently shake the pot so that salt crystalizes on the potatoes.</p>
<p>Finally, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a tea-towel for 5 minutes (so that the potatoes turn &#8216;wrinkly&#8217;). Serve with one or both of the Mojo sauces below.</p>
<p>Mojo Picon Sauce</p>
<p>5 cloves garlic</p>
<p>1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds</p>
<p>3 small dried nora peppers, rehydrated in boiling water and drained</p>
<p>1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika</p>
<p>1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar to taste</p>
<p>5 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil</p>
<p>Using a mortar and pestle, mash cumin, garlic, and peppers with salt until well mixed. Add paprika, vinegar and oil, and continue to blend. If necessary, add water until desired consistency is reached. This is delicious served with boiled potatoes, with or on fried fish.</p>
<p>Mojo Verde Sauce</p>
<p>3 cloves garlic, peeled</p>
<p>½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil</p>
<p>2 teaspoons Sherry Vinegar</p>
<p>½ cup chopped fresh coriander leaves</p>
<p>½ teaspoon of cumin</p>
<p>1 teaspoon sea salt</p>
<p>Water as needed</p>
<p>Process the cumin, garlic, cilantro and salt in a food processor or blender to create a paste. While blending, drizzle in olive oil gradually. Add small amounts of water until the sauce is a  thin paste. Add 1-2 tsp vinegar or more, according to your taste.  Drizzle over potatoes or fish and serve.</p>

<p>Being on board a ship for 13 nights gave us the chance to revisit some of our favorite, inexpensive wines from Spain and Portugal.    These wines were all-around big hits with the guests on board, some of whom have placed case orders!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spanishtablewines.com/categories/White-Wines/">White Wines</a></p>
<p>2008 Protos Verdejo, Rueda ($10.99)  Protos Verdejo has just the right combination of grapefruit flavors and zesty acidity to pair with fish in buttery citrus sauces.</p>
<p>2007 Diamante, Rioja ($10.99)  Classic Diamante is a unique wine.   Semi sweet, it is made from a blend of Malvasia and Viura grapes.    Round and full on the palate, the addition of Viura gives it a crisp, clean finish.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spanishtablewines.com/categories/Red-Wines/">Red Wines</a></p>
<p>2003 Esporao Alicante Bouschet, Alentejo ($13.99) Balanced and full bodied, this Portuguese red was phenomenal with beef tenderloin.</p>
<p>2005 Evel, Douro ($15.99)  One of our perennial favorites, Evel is a blend of the same grapes port grapes.  Great with flavorful chicken dishes, it has lift and elegance.</p>
<p>2005 Altos de Luzon, Jumilla ($14.99)  50% Monastrell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Tempranillo, this hearty red goes down all too easily on a cold, wet night with a plate of grilled lamb chops.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.parisgroceryseattle.com">PARIS GROCERY NEWS</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.parisgroceryseattle.com"><img src="http://spanishtableseattle.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/pg-storefront3.jpg?w=300" alt="" title="PG storefront" width="300" height="225" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-388" /></a></p>
<p>Our new shop features French cheeses and wine, and other foods with a French mood.   It&#8217;s located 1/4 block south of Spanish Table at 1418 Western Avenue.   It&#8217;s currently open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.</p>
<p>New cheeses:</p>
<p>A Casinca is a classical goat&#8217;s milk cheese from the Casinca region of Corsica, where the climate is gentle. Herbaceous, tart, and slightly salty, this cheese has a semi-soft texture that offers a balanced, satisfying finish on the palate.</p>
<p>Tome d&#8217;Aquitaine:  This aged goat&#8217;s milk cheese gets the benefit of washings in Sauternes in the caves of famous affineur Jean d&#8217;Alos. The snow-white interior has a dense texture and a delicately balanced, sweet and fruity flavor.</p>
<p>Brebirousse d&#8217;Argental: This pasteurized sheep&#8217;s milk cheese from Lyon has a creamy, brie-like texture and a faintly sweet finish on the palate. Hints of meadow and hay lend a bit of complexity.</p>
<p>Le Grain d&#8217;Orge:  From the Basse-Normandie region, this pasteurized cow&#8217;s milk cheese is soaked in Calvados according to Norman traditions. A soft-textured, washed rind cheese. Delightfully fruity and milky with  hints of mushroom and apple.</p>
<p>Meats</p>
<p>We have a new shipment of D&#8217;Artagnan charcuterie, including foie gras, pates, frozen (uncooked) sausages, merguez, puff pastry and many other specialty French shelf groceries.   We also now have baguettes from Macrina Bakery, delivered daily Tuesday through Saturday.</p>
<p>Please come on in to one or both of our shops and pick up some wonderful cheeses and fall wines.  Best wishes for a great weekend!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>My rueda classmates and I went down for the Guinness Book of Records Largest Rueda de Casino event last night. It was quite a fun event &#8211; we had a total of 201 couples for the circle! So, we had to dance for 5min straight with 2 witnesses, video document it etc etc to make it official. I&#8217;m sure there were bigger circles, but they had to be documented right so be considered official and to be entered into the book. So, congratulations to everyone who participated and I do hope we can do one more next year with more complicated calls =P</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://razorlilie.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sisf-2009-rueda.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-226" title="SISF 2009 Rueda" src="http://razorlilie.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sisf-2009-rueda.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short clip of what happened..</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/tbCoOGzBgcU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/tbCoOGzBgcU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Most of us stayed for the night party and performances. There were so many local and international performers and they were all very good, well, except for a couple of newbie groups. Most of them were fun, lotsa dips and lifts that made people go &#8220;WOW&#8221;&#8230; There were some MJ performances and tributes as well. But what I really liked and enjoyed thoroughly was the performance by the New Zealand Salsa kids (I think that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re called, sorry if I got it wrong). Even though they were really young, they were amazing. You could see their dedication, commitment, confidence and they were enjoying it! They had breakdancers (who were good), their own MJ who I thought was a bit better than our SG one&#8230; And the part I liked best &#8211; they did the whole MJ wind blowing at you thing! How cool is that? AND they managed to bring in some salsa! I saw some of them on the dancefloor yesterday, and they looked seasoned. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>They did the same dance at the Sydney Salsa Congress this year&#8230; Can&#8217;t find the Singapore clip.. but here it is anyway, from the Sydney one&#8230;</p>

<p>It was really heartwarming to see someone put in so much effort with these kids. According to Albert Torres, who was the host, they&#8217;re from <a href="http://www.stardanceacademy.co.nz/index.html">Star Dance Academy</a>, a school set up by some guy (I forgot his name) who had a cause to &#8220;keep kids off the streets&#8221;. Something like that. You get what I mean. But I&#8217;m really interested in what he&#8217;s doing. And maybe someday, if I&#8217;m good enough, and if I manage to find like-minded people, I will do something similar.. Maybe a worldwide thing? Haha.. What&#8217;s better than to do something you&#8217;re passionate about and help people while at it?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>(Dedicado a Juan Arana, aragonés generoso, que como los Reyes Magos trae presentes inesperados por Navidad) </strong></span></p>
<p>Es el mes último del año la época del despilfarro, de los gastos excesivos, de los regalos, ahora duplicados entre la anglosajona costumbre de Papa Noel y la española tradición de los Reyes Magos, por aquello de que los niños y no tan niños de la familia no se vayan a traumatizar si se levantan y no encuentran sus deseos cumplidos e incluso acrecentados en esta sociedad excesiva del consumo inapetente.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-93" title="DV005-01" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-01.jpg?w=300" alt="Dos Victorias" width="249" height="205" />Es, por ello, un buen momento para equilibrar nuestra balanza de pagos. Si los alimentos con que celebramos estas fechas están por las nubes y especialmente, si no hemos sido previsores comprando con antelación suficiente lo que no es perecedero, podemos compensar ese gasto con el ahorro que nos producirá la compra de grandes vinos, pero a un precio pequeño, pongamos menos de 10€ por botella. Y, desde luego, hablamos de vinos de alta calidad, con los que podremos presumir en nuestra mesa en estas fechas en las que invitamos a nuestros queridos cuñados y cuñadas, tías y sobrinos,  suegras y consuegros, etc. y queremos quedar como reyes. Es también importante que, como la mujer del César, el vino no sólo sea bueno, sino que además lo parezca, que esté bien vestido, que sea una botella que destile clase por los cuatro costados.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-94" title="DV005-02" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-02.jpg?w=254" alt="José Pariente" width="234" height="275" />Veamos, pues, que podemos ofrecer a nuestros invitados en las comidas o cenas de Nochebuena, Navidad, Fin de Año o Reyes. <strong>José Pariente</strong> es un blanco 100% <em>verdejo</em>, elaborado por <a title="Dos Victorias" href="http://www.dosvictorias.com"><strong>Bodegas y Viñas Dos Victorias</strong></a> de la   <a title="D.O. Rueda" href="http://www.dorueda.com"><em>D.O.</em><em> Rueda</em></a>. Esta bodega, creada en 1998 por <strong>Victoria Pariente</strong> y <strong>Victoria Benavides</strong>, (de ahí su nombre), no solo elabora vinos muy cuidados de Rueda, sino que también tiene una marca, <strong>Elías Mora</strong>, que pertenece a la <a title="D.O. Toro" href="http://www.dotoro.es"><em>D.O. Toro</em></a>, tan merecidamente de moda en la actualidad. Este blanco, por unos módicos 8€ nos abre todo su abanico aromático, de heno, de cítricos y un leve amargor en su largo postgusto. Qué maravilla beber este vino con ese hermoso color amarillo pálido, paradigma de la frescura de la variedad y con la acidez justa. Sólo hay que tener el cuidado de servirlo a la temperatura adecuada, entre 6º y 8º.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-95" title="DV005-03" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-03.png" alt="Agustí Torelló Mata" width="180" height="180" />Un poco más frío, entre 4º y 6º debe beberse un cava, como <a title="Agustí Torelló Mata" href="http://www.agustitorellomata.com"><strong>Agustí Torelló Mata</strong></a>, bodega a la que ya hacíamos referencia el post anterior por su impresionante <strong>Kripta</strong>. En este caso, estamos hablando del <strong>Reserva</strong>, un <strong>Brut</strong> perfectamente estructurado, que sabe sacar provecho de la crianza por el método champenoise y que aúna la fruta con la acidez adecuada, realzando esa frescura y esos toques a almendra. ¡Vaya lujo un cava de tal calidad por un precio sobre los 8 o 9€!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-96" title="DV005-04" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-04.png" alt="Sémele" width="155" height="284" />Pasemos ya a los tintos, aquí tenemos mucho donde escoger, pero con las premisas ya citadas nos ceñiremos a tres, a saber, un <a title="D.O. Ribera del Duero" href="http://www.riberadelduero.es"><strong>Ribera del Duero</strong></a>, un <a title="D.O. Calatayud" href="http://www.docalatayud.com"><strong>Calatayud</strong></a> y un <strong>Vino de la Tierra de Castilla-La Mancha</strong>. De la vieja tierra castellana, junto a nuestro gran río vinícola, nuestro río de oro, el Duero, destacamos el <strong>Sémele</strong>, de la bodega <a title="Bodegas Montebaco" href="http://www.bodegasmontebaco.com"><strong>Montebaco</strong></a>. Esta bodega, que elabora espléndidos vinos a precios muy contenidos para lo que se estila en la zona, tiene el secreto de la piedra filosofal. ¿Y cómo convierte la piedra en oro, la uva en ese maravilloso crianza donde los aromas potentes de la <em>tinto fino</em>, (con un 10% de <em>merlot</em>), se funden con la madera produciendo un vino de gran expresión frutal? Amigos, os revelaré su bien guardado secreto; se llama César  Muñoz, enólogo de la casa, genial creador de <strong>Leda Viñas Viejas</strong> o de <strong>César Príncipe</strong> en <strong>Cigales</strong>. Estamos, pues, hablando de palabras mayores. Y que bien puesto el nombre, <strong>Sémele</strong>, madre de <strong>Dionisos</strong>, el equivalente griego del <strong>Baco</strong> romano. Recordar la leyenda, cuando murió la diosa, víctima de un rayo de <strong>Zeus</strong>, todavía no había nacido <strong>Dionisos</strong>, así que el gran dios del Olimpo se implantó el feto en una pierna de la que nació el Dios del vino más tarde. ¡Y con estos antecedentes familiares este vino anda por los 7 euros de vellón!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-97" title="DV005-05" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-05.png" alt="Baltasar Gracián Garnacha Viñas Viejas" width="176" height="138" />De Calatayud viene el <strong>Baltasar Gracián Garnacha Viñas Viejas</strong> de la Cooperativa San  Alejandro, un vino del que <strong>Robert Parker</strong>, el gran gurú americano del vino ha dicho que es el mayor descubrimiento de toda su carrera como catador y que calificó con 95 puntos sobre 100. Un vino procedente de viñas con más de 75 años y que apenas cuesta 7€, pero que vale mucho más. Ese color cereza picota, ese aroma intenso, esos taninos maduros y dulces, esa fruta negra, esa garnacha, esa madera de roble tan bien integrada, ese…, pero como puede tener ese precio. La <a title="Cooperativa San Alejandro" href="http://www.san-alejandro.com"><strong>Cooperativa San</strong><strong> Alejandro</strong></a> sí que merece el calificativo de ONG y no otras que presumen de ello.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-99" title="DV005-07" src="http://elbuhosibarita.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dv005-071.png?w=102" alt="Los Aljibes" width="102" height="300" />Y de <strong>Castilla-La Mancha</strong>, de Albacete para ser precisos, viene nuestro tercer tinto, de la nueva bodega <a title="Finca Los Aljibes" href="http://www.fincalosaljibes.com"><strong>Los Aljibes</strong></a>. Los <strong>Vinos de la Tierra</strong>, gracias a una legislación que no impone tantas condiciones como en otras zonas de mayor tradición vinícola y a las nuevas técnicas y los grandes enólogos que hay en nuestro país, están produciendo grandes vinos que no tienen nada que envidiar a los de de toda la  vida. <strong>Los Aljibes</strong> es una bodega modelo que ha sabido conjugar la plantación de uvas foráneas como <em>syrah</em>, <em>cabernet sauvignon</em>, <em>cabernet franc</em>, <em>merlot</em> o <em>petit verdot</em> con variedades nacionales como <em>tempranillo</em> o <em>garnacha</em>. Su vino estrella es Los Aljibes Syrah, pero se nos va de precio, hablaremos de él en otra ocasión. Ahora, el vino que nos interesa es <strong>Los Aljibes</strong>, una mezcla de uvas seleccionadas de las cepas más viejas de Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot y Cabernet Franc que dan como resultado un vino espectacular, como su envase, esa botella de hombros anchos, que muestra el mismo poderío que su interior. De color muy  intenso, fruta negra bien ensamblada con la madera, muy especiado. En la boca los taninos dulces muestran la nobleza de su origen y su postgusto alarga casi indefinidamente el placer de la cata. Otro vino fantástico que se mueve por los 8€.</p>
<p>Se nos acabó el tiempo y el espacio, pero el Búho volverá a este tema dentro de unas semanas para ayudaros a subir la cuesta de enero con nuevas propuestas que vienen de todos los confines de la vieja piel de toro.</p>
<p>¡Felices Fiestas y un Próspero Año 2010!</p>

<description><![CDATA[All day I was struggling with a decision: should I sip a white wine or a red wine with my Sunday sup]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">All day I was struggling with a decision: should I sip a white wine or a red wine with my Sunday supper? I know there are worse quandaries in the world, but I honestly couldn&#8217;t decide and it was troubling. You see, it&#8217;s very unlike me- I usually know around 10:30am what I&#8217;ll be drinking that evening and plan the rest of my day around it (joking&#8230; kind of.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Earlier this evening, Beau and I went to our local Whole Foods to plan our Sunday supper and for me to pick out a wine to blog about. I stood in the wine section for a solid 5 minutes and all I could do was narrow it down to a country: Spain. In one hand I held an elegant Rioja but I knew I still needed (or wanted&#8230; whatever) a white. Fortunately, Megan, a wine-and-cheese-savvy employee, must have seen me looking like a lost puppy and came over to lend her services. She gave me a big thumbs up on my Rioja choice and when I told her I was still in the market for a white she suggested the <a href="http://www.marquesderiscal.com/index.php?setIdioma=2&#38;idmenu=45&#38;mn1=2&#38;mn2=0">Marques De Riscal Rueda</a>, which is made from the Spanish grape Verdejo (Rueda refers to the region in which the grapes are grown.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Unfortunately, our Whole Foods has a very small selection of chilled wines and no wine chiller, so when I got home I had to take matters into my own hands. Don&#8217;t be jealous of my ghetto wine chiller:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-53" title="ghetto wine chiller" src="http://winosanonymous.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_72191.jpg?w=1024" alt="ghetto wine chiller" width="574" height="382" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The verdict? Eh.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Now, I&#8217;m only speaking for myself and for Beau, who went so far as to say &#8220;it tasted like dirty pennies.&#8221; But let&#8217;s keep in mind that Beau is not a huge fan of wine in general so his input is mainly for amusement. And hey, maybe some of you are into dirty pennies&#8230; as we say here at Winos Anonymous: no judgments. Joking aside, I do actually think many people might enjoy this wine- particularly Pinot Grigio and Reisling people (again, no judgments. Okay, maybe a little judgment.) How &#8217;bout I give you a technical rundown and let you decide?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">As far as the nose is concerned, there&#8217;s a great deal of honey and tropical fruit. As far as tasting notes are concerned, that honey and tropical fruit carries over quite a bit and is balanced nicely by a crisp minerality and a bit of citrus/apple. It&#8217;s definitely more fruit-forward than I like and has a bit more residual sugar than I like, but again&#8230; a lot of people are into that. I think it would pair beautifully with a sharp, aged Manchego or a Cana de Cabra goat cheese to cut into that slight sweetness (and to keep with our Spanish theme- haaaaay.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I am a very opinionated little wino and though the Marques De Riscal Rueda isn&#8217;t quite my thing, I honestly think a lot of people will like it. Again, take a look at my nose and tasting notes and if it sounds like your thing, go for it! It is on sale at Whole Foods for $10.99 so you can experiment without going broke. Let me know what you think!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Tomorrow I will continue the Spanish theme with a delicious, organic Tempranillo and later this week I will try that Rioja&#8230; stay tuned!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-404" title="scrooge2" src="http://nancymoira.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/scrooge2.jpg?w=121" alt="scrooge2" width="192" height="249" />by Nancy Kerschen</p>
<p>One of the brightsides of the recession (or just from generally having a limited income) is the ability to test the creative and resourceful side in us. We did it as broke students- I attended many a strange religious and political meeting around campus  in my day for the free food. It&#8217;s not easy expanding your knowledge about wine without expanding your credit card balance, but I&#8217;ve got some tips that might help you taste some amazing wines and find some incredible deals around town. </p>
<p> Here ya go:</p>
<p>Attend the weekly wine tastings in your  local liquor or wine shop. Usually these are free,  and you&#8217;ll get the chance to try something you&#8217;re not familiar with. Keep your eye out for the price discount that sometimes goes along with the featured bottles.  Check out <a href="http://www.localwineevents.com">www.localwineevents.com</a> for more info.</p>
<p>Drink half-glasses. Simple math tells us you&#8217;ll get to try more. Wine bars are more willing to pour half-glasses (if they don&#8217;t already) than restaurants, all you have to do is ask.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-402" title="piggy bank" src="http://nancymoira.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/piggy-bank1.jpg?w=299" alt="piggy bank" width="166" height="138" /></p>
<p>Step outside your comfort zone. Look for wines from regions and producers that you&#8217;re not too familiar with; if they&#8217;re up and coming, they&#8217;re trying to bring you in with the great prices. After all, when you and other consumers give them the thumbs up, those prices might not be so great in the future.</p>
<p>Keep it all in the family. If you have good friends who work in the industry, they usually get great deals on wine, and are able to take home the remainders of bottles from tastings and trainings. Know these people, love these people, and thank these people.</p>
<p>Do your homework. Checking the websites of your favorite shops for discount sales can save you time and moolah in the long run.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-400" title="grape smurf" src="http://nancymoira.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/grape-smurf1.jpg?w=300" alt="grape smurf" width="220" height="195" />Lighten up a bit. Whites generally cost less than reds. Try a Verdejo from Rueda,  Torrontes from  Argentina, Vinho Verde from Portugal, or a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.</p>
<p>Last, but not least, if you&#8217;re un-employed and really have a passion for wine, try for a job at a wine retail shop! Your palate and your wallet will love you for it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://aprendeacatarvino.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/jose-pariente-verdejo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3425" title="Jose Pariente Verdejo" src="http://aprendeacatarvino.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/jose-pariente-verdejo.gif" alt="Jose Pariente Verdejo" width="78" height="270" /></a>FICHA</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Nombre: </strong>José Pariente Verdejo</p>
<p><strong>Variedad:</strong> 100% <a href="http://aprendeacatarvino.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/verdejo/" target="_blank">Verdejo</a></p>
<p><strong>Cosecha:</strong> 2008</p>
<p><strong>% Vol:</strong> 13%.</p>
<p><strong>Denominación de Origen Rueda<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Elaborado por:</strong> <a href="http://www.dosvictorias.com" target="_blank">Bodegas Dos Victorias</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Precio:</strong> 8´5 € aprox</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Fase visual</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Vino de color amarillo pajizo de gran palidez, con irisaciones verdosas y ligeros matices alimonados en capa fina. Conserva restos de carbónico que denotan su juventud. Aspecto muy limpio, cristalino y con buen brillo. Al agitar la copa el vino muestra un cierta densidad y deja ver una buena lágrima alcohólica resbalando por las paredes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Fase olfativa</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Intensidad aromática media-alta, mostrando aromas limpios y maduros muy afrutados. Predominan las notas de fruta de hueso, melocotón y albaricoque, con recuerdos almibarados. También aparece algo de plátano y pera, junto con un toque herbáceo, de hierba fresca, y un matiz anisado de fondo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Fase gustativa</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sensación picante en la entrada en boca por los restos de anhídrido carbónico que observábamos en fase visual. Entrada fresca, con buena acidez. Muestra cierto volumen en boca y un paso ligeramente untuoso, muy agradable. Al final aparece el característico toque amargo de la verdejo, que invita a beber más vino. Calidez tras el trago y persistencia media, apareciendo nuevamente la fruta por vía retronasal.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Comentarios</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un buen ejemplo de verdejo de Rueda. Aromático, afrutado, fresco y con el toque ligeramente amargo que deja esta variedad tras el trago. Uno de los verdejos más reconocidos de la Denominación de Origen Rueda, su precio algo más elevado lo demuestra. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I recently saw a post on a friend&#8217;s newsfeed on an <a href="http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090908-tows-flash-mob-dance">Oprah flash mob</a> to a BEP song. Judging from the comments that people gave, many people liked it. But it thought it was okay&#8230; Very orchestrated, felt it wasn&#8217;t really a true flash mobs. What&#8217;s up with flash mobs recently anyway? Especially dance ones! Since MJ passed away, there have been numerous dancing flash mobs. We should do a SALSA flash mob! or a rueda one.. no rehearsal needed, as long as everyone knows their stuff. It has to be as good as this (love the girl in pink):</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/lVJVRywgmYM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/lVJVRywgmYM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>and not a failmob like this:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/W73O2iRot1Q&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/W73O2iRot1Q&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span><br />
Singaporeans are too inhibited. Enough said. BUT. I don&#8217;t think the salsa community will be inhibited at all, looking at the culture of the community and dance as well.</p>
<p>So, I started looking online for some tips on how to organise flash mobs and if it was illegal in Singapore, which I have a feeling it is. I came across this group, <a href="http://improveverywhere.com/">Improv Everywhere</a> which specialises in flash mobbing! Seriously, the things people do for fun&#8230; and to actually have a GROUP which organises these kinda stuff&#8230; how cool is that?! If we did stuff like that in Singapore, I bet we&#8217;ll be shut down in a couple of weeks lol. Anyway, here&#8217;s one of the better know vids of their flash mob.</p>
