Northern Spain Wine Tasting | Schnitzel Night

Posted on 20 October 2025

Wine Tasting - Coastal Spain
Wine Class - Pinot Noir
Dinner - Schnitzel Night

Hello from the Caviste:

It is perfect back patio weather and we hope you are able to spend time with new and old friends with a glass of wine. We were recently inspired by Eric Asimov's Why Wine Still Inspires, and Always Will (link here) and refreshed our reason for doing what we do. Wine sparks memories, friendships, communities, and can provide a moment of joy in the midst of chaos. Good wine is delicious, and "can offer something even deeper, a quieter moment of connection, a bridge to memory, a glimpse of beauty that stays with you." We hope you are able to take a moment this week to enjoy.

This week: Tuesday Tasting (Oct 21) presents wines from two coasts of Spain; the Atlantic and the Mediterranean showing that top producers are making new and intriguing wines in old regions. We still have a few spaces left for our delicious dinner on Thursday, Oct 23, Schnitzel night with its glimpse of fall flavors. Next week we dive deeper into Fall with lamb and a Cote Rotie (syrah) pairing.

As the holidays approach, if we can pull a case of old favorites together for you or introduce a new bottling, pull some gifts or wine pairings together just let us know.

Cheers

O Estranxeiro
Estranxeiro is in the Ribera Sacra region almost diagonally across spain from Penedes near the Atlantic. Though this DO was only created in 1996, wine has been produced along the “sacred banks” of the Sil River in Galicia since the Romans traveled along it.

red: Mencia
florally aromatic, ripe red fruits, hints of crushed gravels from the steep hillsides, a perfect fall grilling wine $28
