Hello friends! Sorry for the hiatus- I visited my family in California last week, and have been spending my time readjusting to life in Nashville. But I'm back, and I feel like talking about Spanish wine. 

Spanish wine is my jam.

I’ll confess- I never really grew up drinking “Old World” wines (these are wines that come from countries with long histories of winemaking, i.e. France, Italy, Slovenia… basically all of Europe)- instead, the first wines I learned to love were big California wines (usually veeeeeery different style-wise).

As much as the tradition of Old World wines impressed me, I was a little intimidated to buy a bottle of wine that was labeled domaine de something and was followed by a bunch of other words I didn’t know. These bottles usually had fancy flowing script on them, and typically looked too cool and grown up for my twenty-something year old palate. So I avoided them.
