I wish I were in Spain right now. I've always thought of it as exotically stuck in the 1970s...the clothes, the cars, etc. Except for the wine that is. And not just the Rioja and Ribera del Duero. I'm in love with Albarino, which may surprise my friends because I rarely drink whites. Chardonnays are too popular, Pinot Grigio is too plain, but there's something about the flavor of Albarino. Maybe it's the taste of peaches and vanilla that draws me back. I don't know. Anyway, I think I'm going to have a little tapas party this weekend. Serve up some fried almonds, a bit of Manchego or Mahon cheese, sit outside and just enjoy the day. Have fun.
