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. The Becker Vineyards Tempranillo with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
