This isnβt a post about wine ratings, aging potential, or food pairings. Itβs a post about gratitude.
I want to express my sincere thanks to Maryellen of @marques_caceres for giving me this lovely set of Rioja wines. It brought back a flood of wonderful memories!
π· A casual comment on a friendβs social media post @wine.by.kari about wine sparked this thoughtful gift. It wasnβt about promotion, but simply the joy of sharing and enjoying good wine.
π· Many years ago, I was visiting my best friendβs parents in Montreal, originally from Spain, and during a lovely meal, we got to talking about the wine we were drinking. Suddenly, my friendβs father disappeared downstairs to his cellar and emerged with a bottle of MarquΓ©s de CΓ‘ceres Gran Riserva 1994.
He looked at me and declared, βKatalina, Spanish wine is the ONLY wine that matters, and this is a beautiful example!β
That moment of discovery was a treasure Iβll always hold dear.
β«οΈMarquΓ©s de CΓ‘ceres is a winery located in Rioja Alta, Spain. Founded in 1970 by the fifth-generation Forner family, their goal is to create approachable wines for everyone to enjoy. The winery remains family-owned and is currently led by CEO Cristina Forner. Their wines are widely distributed and consistently crowd-pleasing.
Salud!
