My Birthday Drink. 100% Tinto Fino.

On my birthday I framed a work of art and hung it on my wall, went to the Frick Collection for the first time, immensely enjoying the trip, and at the end of the day drank delicious, moderately dry and acidic Spanish wine .

They say: "Made from low-yielding vines grown within a large nature preserve owned by the Arzuaga family in Western Ribera del Duero. 100% Tinto Fino, this wine is deep and rich but with ripe, supple tannins. Lush texture and a complex assortment of black cherry, currants and mineral-coated dark chocolate. This terrific value sings for some richly spiced Spanish cuisine. A fantastic buy for the money and a taste of the Ribera del Duero at its best."

Is it me or are spanish wines getting a lot of (deserved) attention lately?

Certainly here in NY, but I have not been experimenting with them much. After this bottle though I might try a few "titles."
