This month we enjoyed an Alabaster 2007 Spanish wine. The wine was produced with 100 percent Tinta de Toro. It was an excellent red wine. The grape is known as Tempranillo and was from the central Spain region, Toro. The back label added additional information about the wine. It was made with grape bunches that were selected by hand and foot treaded in order to have the gentlest of extractions. This is an elegant wine which pairs well with beef dishes.

According to the label, “In ancient times, Egyptian and Greeks stored their most precious perfumes in exquisite alabaster bottles.” What better wine name could have been chosen for this elegant wine?

Cheers! Kathy
