@scottkieser, we were invited by friends and neighbors for paella last night. Your thread helped me pick some perfect pairings.
- 2019 Pere Mata Cava Trepat Rose - Spain, Cava (4/7/2024)
This is a lot of joy for the price. Fresh raspberries and other red fruit. Complex, with a perfect bead. If you haven't tried the Cavas from Pere Mata, you're missing out. Thanks to @Robert_Panzer for introducing me to these - 2005 R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Reserva Viña Tondonia - Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja (4/7/2024)
Perfect pairing with paella. Lemon cream, apricot, with an oxidative nuttiness. Waxy texture. Improved with air. Excellent.
