This is sure to be a “Sabado Gigante” with Howard Friedman pouring great Spanish wines from his import portfolio and a special guest all the way from Penedes!

Please join us this Saturday.  Howard Friedman of South River Imports is back yet again to show some superb favorites from his portfolio.  We keep asking Howard back for many reasons.  The wines are great, his passion for all things Spain is second to none, and he every customer leaves the table with a smile on their face (and a bottle or 3 as well!). A long time veteran of the wine business in DC, Howard worked on the wholesale side for many years, then moved to retail and now has started a very successful importing business focusing on the wines of Spain. He also runs wine centric tours to Spain that have been a huge hit with many of our customers https://www.howardswinetour.com.  Please stop by Saturday, we promise you won’t be disappointed.

RAMON CANALS

We are thrilled that Ramon Canals is finally back for a visit. He will pour his famous Cavas as well as two fantastic reds from Montsant and Priorat.

Ramon Canals is the third generation of an illustrious family in Penedes dedicated to producing the region’s best Cava.  He has trained at Moet& Chandon in France and Calfiornia.  He has made wine in New Zealand and as the winemaker at Canals Canals his training and dedication have culminated in superbly styled Cava that is unmatched.

Here too we are tasting both ends of his winemaking skills and you will notice the same soft, rich style and glorious overtones of tropical fruit that make his wines the most “food friendly” we have ever come across in sparkling wine.  He will be with us all during the tasting to help you enjoy his wines.
