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. The Vina Herminia Lady Label Herminia Tempranillo with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
