Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache

Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache are my top picks for Spanish. 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 Torres Sangre de Toro Tempranillo. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 8 dollars.
