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. You could try Becker Vineyards Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.
