For each region, we lay out the indigenous red and white grape varieties, the flavor profiles each variety typically exhibits, the denominations in which these grapes reach their highest expression, and vintage ratings. Since value is a focus, we highlight the regions where you are most likely to find quality wine at good prices. Rather than seek to tell you what specific bottle of wine to order, we give guidance as to how to approach ordering the most appropriate wine for the region. When appropriate, we have let our opinions be known. * We mark each of our favorite regions, grape varieties and appellations with an asterisk — look to these regions for quality, consistency, and good values. This guide has been written with the traveler in mind and is meant to be read region by region (so that when in a specific place like Barcelona or the Rioja region, you can quickly and easily identify wines to try). We hope you enjoy what we believe is a totally unique guide to the wines of Spain. Salud!
