53. Tinto FinoNewsletter June 9, 2010 This early June weather is pretty dreary, yet somehow it doesn't seem so terrible for this mid week slump. Perhaps it is because today's gray skies, misty air, and warm chill are reminiscent of a typcial Galician day! Coincidentally enough, if you didn't know it, Denominación de Origen, Rias Baixas happens to be in town this week sharing their succulent Albariño wines! Ahem, and in effort of expressing terroir, it appears they have brought their weather along with them! wwwriasbaixaswines.com. TONIGHT from 6pm-8pm, we welcome special guest Enrique Abiega from Bodegas Santiago Ruíz in Galicia, who will be our conductor for the evening, leading our Wednesday tasting with a selection of his very enjoyable wines. Santiago Ruíz was established in 1892, and is located in the coastal O Rosal sub-zone of Rías Baixas. Despite its recent partnering with Bodegas Lan group in Rioja, it still remains a small, family operated winery. In fact, Rosa Ruíz, Santiago's daughter, is in charge of the daily operations and happy to receive guests to her property. The winery cultivates 94 acres of vineyards which are planted with Albariño, Treixadura and Loureiro, approximately 20% of which are sourced from local grape growers. This impressive estate is also home to a unique wine museum including an original 100 year old Galician kitchen; both of which are available for visits. As far as the wine making style, only free run juice is used and these wines undergo pre-fermentation maceration. Excitingly, in a Rias Baixas world of Albariño, the blending of these local grapes from small parcels in Santiago Ruiz´s wines, really leaves you to taste the delicate hues and herbal nuances of each varietal. This newly released Santiago Ruíz 2009 vintage just hit the shelves and it is delicious! Enrique will be pouring it heavily here TODAY along with the amazing value Lan Crianza 2005 from DOCa Rioja! Make the most of this rainy day and stop by!
