THE TWELVE
Spring 2010
Wine-by-the-Glass List

By Charles M. Bear Dalton

Spring for me means more time outdoors, more grilled foods, and lighter foods than I was eating in the winter and fall. This change in diet and habits dictates a change in the wines I drink. Here’s my Spring 2010 go-to list. Think of it as this Spring’s wine-by-the-glass-list for your house.

SPECtacular Spanish Sale - Priorat

This month’s Spanish DO highlight will be the famous and very historic region of Priorat (or Priorato). As you will learn, this fantastic wine – growing area of Spain is steeped in history, filled with amazing wine offerings, and is now in the midst of trying to create a more approachable way for the everyday consumer to experience true Priorat wines.

To get us started off correctly, here are a few wines from Priorat that we have put on sale to “wet your appetite”. Enjoy!
