"This new Albariño is the product of a new Bodega in Rias Baixas, Adega Stella. 100% Albariño, Campus Stella is a light, crisp and refreshing wine with well balanced acid levels. It has a wonderful bouquet that is noticeable even before you touch the wine glass. Delicate peach, pear, apricot and spice flavors are wonderful on the palate." -The Importer

"The purple-colored 2007 Avanthia is 100% Mencia sourced from two old vineyards, 70 and 85 years of age. It was aged in new French oak for 14 months and bottled without filtration. It delivers an exotic nose of underbrush, smoke, and wild blueberry leading to an opulent, layered wine which manages to retain some elegance. Rich, savory, and long, it has the structure and balance to evolve for 6-8 years and should offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2027." -Jay Miller

"The 2008 Vina Godeval was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Light gold-colored with an earth/mineral and melon-scented bouquet; on the palate it is creamy-textured with excellent depth and balance. Drink this excellent value over the next 3 years." -Jay Miller

"La Cana’s just bottled 2009 Albarino reveals the excellence of the vintage in Rias Baixas. Light gold-colored with an unusually fragrant nose of mineral, lemon zest, and spring flowers that jumps from the glass, on the palate it exhibits a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and a lengthy, refreshing finish. Drink it over the next 3 years." -Jay Miller

We think this is the best Olive oil on the market. It is under 0.4% total acidity and extra virgin, and unfiltered. The best description is "liquid butter".

Notes from the producer: The bright green gold color and the bold fruit aromas reflect the much sought after qualities of the premium olive variety, Arbequina. Las Brisas olive oil is produced from this single variety which is grown in the arid Mediterranean climate of Jumilla. Distinctive fruit flavors are balanced on the palate with a very soft rich lingering finish.

"Has an attractive straw-greenish yellow color, with ripe lemon nuances. Bright and slightly sparkling. Stands out for its special intensity and elegance, its aroma reminiscent of damp, dewy fresh herbs with a perfume of semi-ripe apples. A fine sparkling sensation on the palate, with a complexity of tastes denoting the freshness of vegetation in the valley and the
essence of the variety. Persistent, full-bodied and tasty … a classic." -The Winery

"The Verdejo grapes for the 2009 Shaya are sourced from both estate vineyards and local growers with vine age ranging from 75-112 years. The wine was barrel-fermented and aged on its lees. Medium straw-colored, if offers up an alluring aroma of baking spices, spring flowers, and peach. On the palate it has a creamy texture, vibrant acidity, and intense flavors leading to a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It is a great value in dry, aromatic white wine that over-delivers in a big way. Bodegas Shaya is a new collaboration between the Gil family of Jumilla and importer Jorge Ordonez." -Jay Miller
