We are
pleased to announce the Barcelona Fall/Winter Wine
Dinner Series. Dusting off our jackets, dreading the
cold mornings of raking and shoveling, we are all
realizing the holiday season is approaching quickly.
With the frigid weather comes many nights of
celebrating and festivities that we all look forward
to. Please join us and warm up at our latest series
of wine dinners, guaranteed to be convivial evenings
of great wine, food and conversation.

Vinos de Terruño
$68 for 1 person, $58 per person for 2-3 people, $53

This dinner
will be celebrating the terroir-driven wines of
Spain. As the wine world evolves quickly,
‘internationalization’ is blurring the lines between
classic and modern styles. Terroir – known as
Terruño in Spain – is becoming difficult to find
even from Old World producers. However there are
still those that strive to protect tradition by
allowing the vineyards to create the wines,
preserving the natural flavors of the earth.
Barcelona Wine Director Gretchen Thomas will be
leading discussion of the diverse soils and climates
of Spain, and pairing her favorites with regional
foods created by Executive Chef Adam Halberg.

Joining us will
be Adrian Murcia, the fromager and assistant
sommelier for NYC’s Chanterelle and the national
spokesperson for ‘Vibrant Rioja.’ Ever the most
popular wine-producing region in Spain, Rioja
produces some of the most ageworthy, prolific wines
in the world. Barcelona Wine Bar has been enjoying a
long love affair with these wines, and for this
dinner we will be trying some of our all-time
favorites paired with traditional cuisine of the
region. Adrian has immense knowledge of the history
and wines of Rioja and will be sharing his
enthusiastic point-of-view on these exceptional
wines.

the traditional ‘burial of the sardine.’ This
evening will include costumes, dancing, dinner, and
