CROQUETAS DE BACALAO + A SPANISH RED:
Salt Cod Fritters with Tomato Escabeche pair beautifully with a robust Spanish red (GARNACHA/VIURA/TEMPRANILLO Muga, Rioja, Spain). The salty notes of the fritters are perfectly complemented by the fruitiness of this grape blend.
DATES WITH ALMONDS + A ROBUST WHITE:
Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Marcona Almonds, and La Peral Crema create a perfect pairing for this refreshing white wine (VERDEJO Marques de Riscal, Rueda, Spain). Sweet and fresh flavors unite beautifully.
CHORIZO + A FULL-BODIED RED:
Imported Andalusian Garlic & Paprika Sausage pairs beautifully with this bold red (TINTO TORO Bodega Burdigala, “Campo Alegre”, Toro, Spain) for a rich and diverse tasting experience.
CRAB MONTADITO + A CRISP WHITE VARIETY:
Blue Crab Salad with Avocado is an ideal complement to a refreshing white wine (VERDEJO Bodega Burdigala "Campo Alegre", Rueda, Spain). Light, airy, and revitalizing, this pairing is a classic favorite.
DUCK MONTADITO + A SMOOTH RED:
Duck Confit, Serrano Ham, and Amarena Cherry harmonize perfectly with a fruity red (MENCIA Bodegas Godelia, Bierzo, Spain). The rich and smooth fruitiness cuts through the savory notes of the duck and ham beautifully.
