We are going to focus this Saturday on some beautiful Spanish wines for our weekly tasting.  Spain has a long, storied history of wine production, with some type of wine historically being produced from essentially every corner of the country.  Spain is also experiencing a wine renaissance at the current moment, with it's highest levels of production ever, and a talented throng of young winemakers pushing new ideas, new technologies, and modern styles.  The more traditional wine world and these young guns are not at odds, however, and find an exceptional balance, allowing those of us who drink Spanish wines to enjoy both wonderful classic renditions of wines produced for centuries right along with wines of a new, modernized style.  Some of the best value wines we've been able to find over the last few years have been Spanish, with a slew of bottles that absolutely over-delivery for their price, brimming with fruit and character.  Of course, Spanish wines are not just value driven, and those willing to spend a touch more will find wines of incredible finesse and elegance, refined wines that still would cost much more if coming out of France or Italy.  We've selected five of our favorites to sample for Saturday, from around various appellations across the country.  We hope you come and take a Spanish tour with us this weekend!
