Spanish Wine Tasting: Reading

Tomorrow, Oct.27, from 3-5pm, the Wine Shop of Reading will host a tasting of Spanish wines.

"Many of you may not know that Dion and I love Spanish wines. We prominently display our Spanish selections at the front of the store and many of our Best Buy bins are filled with Spanish choices. Our goal is to find unknown treasures, made by small independent family bodegas, that represent the best of Spanish wine available in America. How do we identify these wonderful wines? We'll let you in on a little secret.

"Almost all of our Spanish wines are from Jorge Ordoñez, the human dynamo who imports Spain's biggest, deepest wine portfolio to America. He draws from an astonishing portfolio - 13O wines from 4O wineries. Through the force of his personality and his practically limitless energy, Ordoñez, just 45, has changed the Spanish wine world, and especially the American view of Spanish wines.
