Ok, by now if you have seen some of my posts, or read my tweets you will see there is a soft spot for Spain. I am not Spanish although my grandparents are from there. Growing up, my mom's father lived with us. He was from Barcelona. That's where my love for Spanish wine and the greatest soccer team ever FC Barcelona comes from. I am not biased though. I do not pretend that wines from Spain are the best, (although there is no arguing that FC Barcelona is the greatest soccer team in the world). I will say that wines from Spain are fantastic and even more so because of the prices.
I have linked a good article from the NY Times that talks (in brief) about the history of Spanish Wine:

Starting with the Ramon Bilbao, I will continue for the next couple of days to give my thoughts on some of my favorite wines from Spain.
Visca Barca!!!
I hope you enjoy!
