Description
INSIDER’S SPANISH RED WINE
Mark is here with a comprehensive class designed to help to you choose Spanish reds like a pro.
No country offers more pleasure for the money than Spain, but savvy wine lovers benefit from a framework for enjoying its variety of red wine styles. We will take off for the classic regions of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, explore the exciting slopes of Priorat, and delve into rediscovered regions such as Ribeira Sacra, Bierzo, and Terra Alta. We will also consider issues such as modern winemaking vs. traditional winemaking, ageworthiness, the perception of quality, old vine garnacha and other trends. And we will cover sensory evaluation techniques, decoding the label, and optimal food pairings.
Moreover, if you’ve ever been to one of Mark's presentations, you know it is brimming with humor and his trademark “nuggets” of useful insider information that you won’t find anywhere else.
The cost of the class is $55 per household, and if you want to taste along with Mark, this special kit is available from Wine.com:
- Rioja or Ribera del Duero
- Priorat

The specific selection of wine, and vintage, can vary state to state but will always be fitting of the style required to best enjoy the class. All wines have been personally approved by Mark.
