Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Spanish on the menu? Try pairing 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 Vina Herminia Lady Label Herminia Tempranillo. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.
