One of the best features of the Symposium that was interesting was the focus on Spanish wines. There was a program by Doug Frost, MS, MW, on wines of Spain where he featured unusual but distinctive and wonderful wines from less known regions.

Another program featured Steve Olson, the Wine Geek, on Sherry. We tasted about a dozen wines from the driest imaginable to wines with a texture so rich they had a viscosity similar to motor oil, but in a good way.

One of the featured underwriters of the symposium was Wines of Spain, USA. They did a great job and certainly had engaging and knowledgeable speakers.

There will be reviews later on of the wines tasted throughout the event.
