Courtney’s Wines: Viña Pomal
Had this fantastic Spanish wine with Indian food. Oh no has he gone totally bonkers or what’s up. Well the wine shop was closed and this was a stroke of luck at a Korean bodega amidst a small arsenal of eight to twelve dollar napa cabs and chards. This was the only bottle.
100% tempranillo and old world as a guillotine this wine actually didn’t do so well with the pain factor. The mild dishes couldn’t have paid for a better wine to be paired with but it amplified the vindaloo. “I’m gonna burn the hell out of your mouth”-ness a little.
Still I may try blending it just to see. Oak aged tempranillo is a beautiful thing.
