Clash of the Spanish Titans

In what they are billing as the "Clash of the Spanish Titans", The Wine Barn (http://www.thewinebarn.net/) will be welcoming David Espinar of Emilio Moro and Juan Muga of Bodegas Muga for a private tasting event on Thursday, February 4th at 5:00 pm. The tasting will feature '05, '06, and '07 vintages of selected Moro labels and '01, '04, '05, and '08 vintages of selected Muga labels. The cost of attendance is $25 and additional information can be obtained by calling Gary Tupper at 407.704.8816 or visiting the aforementioned website.

By the way, I have just learned that Fidel Palenzuela, one of the leading wine experts in town, has joined the Wine Barn staff as of last Monday. Fidel will have responsibility for The Wine Barn's online business and marketing activities.
