Bodega: Adventures in Spanish Food & Wine

Today most people made resolutions for the coming year. I, on the other hand, decided to make "goals" instead of resolutions. I tend to have a habit of breaking resolutions but can work towards goals. I am currently reading crazy wine library guy Gary Vaynerchuk's book, Crush It!, and am loving it! This year is going to be the year of Bodega and I cannot wait to look back with a big grin on what we have accomplished together.

So what goals has Spanish Wine Guy set for Bodega this year?

1. Teach a Spanish food and/or wine class at least once a quarter;

2. Post at least twice a month;

3. Try wines from as many Spanish D.O.s as possible; if you want to join me on this one I have included the latest D.O. list from the Peñin Guide below (check out the countdown on the left).

Why am I sharing this with you? Because I need your help and accountability! Do you have any comments or suggestions that you'd like to send.  Please don't hesitate to send me an email. Would you like to host a Spanish food and wine tasting for your friends? Let me know how I can help!

Let's make 2010 a great year - together.  And don't forget: Life is short; drink great wine!
