Spain is August's Featured Country
In the International spirit that is Rotary, each Etown Rotary board meeting this year will feature a different country by way of a wine tasting. According to the French proverb, " In water one sees one's own face; But in wine one beholds the heart of another."
Our meeting on Tuesday will highlight Spain. Spain has 200 Rotary Clubs and approximately 5,000 Rotarians. Our tasting will be a 2007 Burgans Albarino Riax Baixas from the Salnes Valley in NW Spain.
From Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Light yellow-gold. Exotically perfumed nose displays smoky peach, mango and papaya, plus a strong floral accent. Deep and chewy, with more power than I usually find in this wine. Tropical fruit flavors coat the palate and pick up a subtle herbal note on the back end."
