All four of these tapas pair perfectly with any Spanish red or white wine. For the reds, I recommend wines from the regions of Jumilla, Campo de Borja and Rioja. For the whites, Rías Baixas, Utiel-Requena and Rioja.

    Perfection! Love that I can find ingredients at La Tienda online if my market doesn’t have them, like Spanish Tuna and quality saffron. Your simple but insanely delicious recipes have increased my confidence in the kitchen! Annie
