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. You could try The Fableist Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 21 dollars per bottle.
