Many are away on vacation this week but if you are not, no need to feel stuck at home when you can take a whirlwind trip by opening a bottle of wine. Come with us today as we take a quick trip to Spain and explore this land of rich culture, stunning landscapes, and of course, delicious wine. We visit the foothills of the Sierra de Cantabria where the the Eguren family produces the 2019 Sierra Cantabria Crianza Rioja ($21.99) — a Crianza, which means it's aged for more than 12 months in both French and American oak barrels. The result is a wine with a bright, ruby-red color with tones of ripe berry fruit and notes of cocoa and coffee. The palate is powerful and well balanced with nuances of the oak aging. Sturdy but with ripe tannins, this wine remains both complex and harmonious right through the finish. As the nights start to warm up and you think about that big, fat burger or juicy NY Strip Steak, this wine from the Eguren family promises to be an ideal complement. Saturday we pour both the 2019 Sierra Cantabria Crianza Rioja ($21.99) and the 2023 Alexander Valley Vineyard Gewürz ($18.99) — a delicious and innovative take on Gewürztraminer from California.

According the the calendar spring should be here but the weather is telling a different story. So lets be positive and think spring! As we wait for the temperature to catch up with the calendar, we can transport ourselves to the sun-drenched vineyards of southern France and savor the flavors of the coming season. Our first stop brings us to the Languedoc in southern France where we find the 2023 La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet ($14.99). This white wine, with its bright yellow/green highlights, greets you with aromas of pears and hints of citrus. The clean, green melon flavor is lively on the palate, and the slight roundness leads you into a soft finish. This wine is perfect on its own but truly shines when paired with seafood, shellfish or grilled fish. Comfortably priced, it is destined to become your "go to" white wine for spring and summer. Also in Languedoc, the 2022 Les Hérétiques ($11.99) is a blend of 80% Carignan grape and 20% Grenache. The floral aroma, with its approachable nuances of raspberries and blueberries, make it the perfect casual warm weather red wine. So as you fire up the grill and put on the first burgers of the season, this wine will play off nicely with the flavors of the grilled meat and a thick slice of red onion.

France's Loire Valley is home to many of the wines we love. The many famous Appellations include Sancerre, Muscadet, Chinon and Touraine, but today we are going to visit the Menetou-Salon — specifically, the Chavet family, who have been growing vines in this region since the 17th century. Today we focus on their 2022 Domaine Chavet La Côte Menetou-Salon ($22.99). Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grape, this wine greets you with a pale gold color while aromas of mineral and lemon burst from the glass. On the palate it is fresh and elegant and the lemony notes discerned in the nose are confirmed in the mouth, accentuated by a delicate mineral freshness that leads you directly to a clean, crisp finish. All the hallmarks of a great Sauvignon Blanc are present, making it an excellent alternative to Sancerre.

While the thermometer can still be a bit stubborn in movement, you can always warm things up with something from California, such as the 2021 Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay ($36.99). This wine offers up nuances of toasted brioche and the nose leads you directly into a creamy, full body core that you expect from a Carneros Chardonnay.
