Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Spanish works really well with Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache. When pairing wine with Spanish dishes, why not follow the rule 'what grows together goes together'? We recommend albariño for white wine and garnachan and tempranillo for red. One wine you could try is Verdad Santa Ynez Valley Tempranillo. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 21 dollars.

Verdad Santa Ynez Valley Tempranillo
The wine is medium-full bodied and has a very pretty aromatic profile with sour cherry and rose petals and spice. On the palate there are tart cherries, tobacco, hard spice and cocoa. I love the unique focused flavors this wine has and I have loved the Tempranillo in barrel from the beginning. Blend: 75% Tempranillo, 17% Syrah, 8% Graciano
