Presentation of Murcia City

InTheCellar - Visiting the Vineyards of Yecla, Murcia Spain - Bodegas La Purisima with Wines

Spain has been crafting fine wines for centuries, visit Yecla in the Southern Highlands of Murcia for 10 minutes of education and fun tasting the wines of Bodegas La Purisima with Managing Director of Marquee Selections, Christopher Cribb, Bonnie Rabicoff, Host & Food Expert of In the Kitchen With Bonnie and Jennifer Haves, Sommelier / Owner, Wines By Jennifer boutique in Parkville, MO.

Learn the difference between a "bush vine" and trellised vines + much more as we move to the dry windswept plateau of Yecla in southern Spain where in 1946 a large group of local grape growers banded together to form Bodegas La Purisima to show the best wines of their region of Yecla!

We will explore two indigenous grapes to Spain, the first is Macabeo (also called Viura) in other parts of Spain, a light white wine with a profile similar to a Pinot Grigio as we taste the Capa Rota 2010 Macabeo. This fresh, floral white is a great pair with the spicy elements of Spanish cuisine as well as a lovely match with many seafood dishes. The second grape we will dive into is Monastrell, also called Mourvedre or Mataro in other countries. This rich, hearty red has a lovely long pallet, dark blueberry and blackberry fruit that is layered over leather, spices and a dusty, earthy note. We open up "Trapio" an Old Vine Monastrell from un-grafted 50+ year old vines that is the TOP Cuvee for Bodegas La Purisima, a real treat and lovely wine for your next grilled steak or pork chop! One look at this wine and you will want to get out a fountain pen and soak up the juice to draft a beautiful letter, the deep, inky black / purple color pushes is eye catching!

In the Kitchen and Marquee sends out a special thank you to our friends at Wines By Jennifer Boutique wine shop in Parkville, MO for participating in this exciting show and transporting us back to the vineyards and fields of Australia from a quaint house along the Missouri river! Sharing the knowledge of culture, atmosphere is always great with Jennifer and I highly suggest if you are in the Parkville area, stop in for a visit, they always have great wine selections open on the tasting table and a helpful staff to pour and chat with!!

Marquee Selections has partnered up with the award-winning chef focused program " In The Kitchen with Bonnie" to produce an exciting new wine segment entitled "In the Cellar" with Marquee Selections . During each episode we will unravel the wine world one grape at a time! Each week we invite you to join us for an engaging conversation for our food and wine lovers to see why wine has been a worldwide tradition for centuries and how learning more about it can help bring the stories and flavors to life. Learn more about exciting regions, new wine types, varietals, how to pair wines with food, decanting, proper serving temperature, what wine goes best with pizza and more! A great 10 minute break from your day to learn and "wet" your taste buds for more"!

Cheers!
