Wine Dinner: Viños de España y Pintxos

May 20, 2019 By arroyovino

A pincho (Spanish: [ˈpintʃo], literally “thorn” or “spike”), pintxo (Basque: [ˈpintʃo]) or pinchu (Asturian: [ˈpintʃʊ]) is a small snack, typically eaten in bars, traditional in northern Spain and especially popular in La Rioja, Cantabria, Asturias, the Basque country and Navarra. They are usually eaten in bars or taverns as a small snack while hanging out with friends or relatives; thus, they have a strong socializing component, and in the Basque country and Navarre they are usually regarded as a cornerstone of local culture and society.

Brian and Julian just had a hectic visit to Spain, visiting a handful of of our favorite producers from Jose Pastor Selections. We’d like for you to experience a little of what that might have been like with our ‘Viños de España y Pintxos’ Dinner.

Sherry Seminar January 31st
Hailing from the stark, arid, south of Spain, Sherry is a truly unique product. Though many understand the basics of Sherry - oak-aged fortified wine - the intricacies are where all the nuance, flavor, and fun come in. Our resident Spain expert, Chris Barnes, will be delving into the different styles of this complex vinous creation; from grape varieties to the solera system; from light bright Fino to rich, smooth Pedro Ximenez, he`ll cover it all. Join us in tasting through this stylistic rainbow!

Still a few seats left for this Thursday`s Family Meal
The dining cultures of Spain have become the stuff of global fantasy. From simple tapas and pintxo bars, to the advent of molecular gastronomy; from the famous jamón, to Michelin starred seafood restaurants, Spain`s culinary landscape is vast and varied; so much so that narrowing it down to a single menu was nigh impossible. Spaniards have a bit of an obsession with all things porcine; so, we elected to pay honor to their (and our) love of pork. We`ll be featuring scrumptious, chestnut stuffed pork tenderloin as the star of this Family Meal, while also giving a nod to their seafood culture with grilled octopus. Check out the full menu on our website.

Thursday, January, 22nd
$59 per person + tax & gratuity
Seatings at 5:00 & 7:30
