‘Tis the season
With Pesach looming, the mainstream metropolitan press has been spinning out their annual reviews (sparse though they may be) of kosher wines. The NY Times article ran today and is available online (free registration required).
Of the wines they review, I have recently had the Tierra Salvaje Tempranillo from Spain (Yecla) (not Mevushal). If you’re looking for something a little different than the usual California or Israeli wines that grace most kosher tables, this is a great pick. It is highly affordable (usually $9-$12) and is very drinkable. It has distinct cherry notes and complements everything from chicken to heavier roasts or other red meat well.
I have been very impressed with the entire Tierra Salvaje line, which includes wines from Spain (a Rioja in addition to the Tempranillo), Chile, and Argentina. They feature both reds and whites — all affordable and all have been enjoyable.
Tierra Salvaje linejust bought one bottle of 3 winesvery satisfied w the 2 i tasted one still unopened (red label)looking for a web site for the wineryhave you any info?
I have not been able to find a website for the label, but please note that there is more than one winery because Tierra Salvaje producers wines from Spain, Chile, and Argentina.I have been very satisfied with all of the Tierra Salvaje wines that I have tried; and I have tried a number of them. I feel confident recommending any of them, depending on your particular taste.
