About last night…my first time tasting @TemposVegaSicilia_ @VegaSiciliaVintage with CEO Pablo Alvarez at a wine pairing dinner at @JeanGeorgesBeverlyHills = I tasted and loved all of these remarkable wines beginning with a bone dry 2018 Furmint with appetizers; 2016 Macon Clasico, Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild-Vega Sicilia and the 2015 Macan - both blew me away - with a wonderful Pate en Croute; then onto 2015 Pintia, 2016 Alion, and 2015 Valbuena - again all remarkable - with a Mushroom Crusted Salmon; then came the “unique” Unico labels including a 2006 Unico, 2009 Unico, 2010 Unico and the incredible 3-vintage blends that go into each Unico Reserval Especial, Vega Sicilia we had the R.18 and R.20 with Beef Bourguignon; finally ending with their sweet 2013 Tokaji Asuzu from Hungary with a lovely Passionfruit Glazed Pear with Rose Mascarpone and Toasted Nuts…(read more on EveWine101 2/7) . . . "Bodegas Vega Sicilia, founded in 1864, was purchased by The Álvarez Family in 1982. They produce three flagship wines; Vega Sicilia Unico, Vega Sicilia Unico Reserva Especial and Valbuena 5°. The company also founded Alión in Spain’s Ribera Del Duero Region in 1992, Oremus in Hungary’s Tokaj region in 1993, Pintia in Spain’s Toro region in 1997 and Macán and Macán Clásico from a joint winery project between the Alvarez Family and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, (Chairman of Edmond de Rothschild in Geneva, Switzerland) in 2013. The company banded the wineries and vineyards under the umbrella of Tempos Vega Sicilia.” . . . “Few wines have a history as distinguished as that of Vega Sicilia. Founded in the 1860’s, its top cuvée, Unico, was Spain’s first great wine and until recent decades the only Spanish wine collected and coveted throughout the world.” 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🍷🍷♥️♥️ . . . #EveBushmanWhatsInYourGlass #Europvin #WinePairing #WineLover #WineLovers #Tempranillo #Cabernet #RedBlend #SpanishWine #RiberoDelDuero #Tokaj #Hungary @JeanGeorgesBeverlyHills @VegaSiciliaVintage @TemposVegaSicilia_ (at Tempos Vega Sicilia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7q3-U7A2AN/?igshid=1e6xwk35fdg7b
