The Vina Bujanda 2010 Crianza is made from 30-year-old Tempranillo vines ground in the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa vineyards in Spain's world famous Rioja region. A wine termed 'Crianza' means that it was aged for at least two years, and at least one of those years was spent in oak barrels. Crianza is a quality classification level in the Rioja region.

Bright ruby in color, this 2010 Crianza has attractive aromas of wild strawberry, clove, pepper, vanilla and leather. On the palate, the wine has excellent balance with fresh flavors of strawberry, spice, rich cherry, and just a hint of tobacco.

Chile Rellenos al Horno

Tip: use good quality thick-fleshed canned chiles. Make a slit down the side and spread them flat. Line the baking dish, then spoon the filling over instead of trying to stuff them. Bell peppers should be used only in desperation. The following recipe gives both the customary meat version and an optional cheese version. Pair with the 2012 Kenneth Volk Tempranillo.

Roasted Sweet Potato Chili

Warm and inviting, this sweet potato chili will have you going back for seconds! The bold flavors of the chili would pair wonderfully with Opolo's 2013 Tempranillo or 2013 Sangiovese.
