Each year Bishop’s Stock welcomes a year of new featured exhibits with an exclusive abstract show. Many of our abstract artists have shown with us each year but we always discover new talent to include in this very energetic, colorful show. Among the artists are Aina Nergaard-Nammack, Anne Holland, Kathy Daywalt, Diane Hurwitz-Specht, Angela Herbert-Hodges, Barbara Hager, Bobbi Shulman, Ann Crain, Terry Cullen, John Cleary, Scot Dolby. Maurice Spector, and Maurice Sevigny. In the show are work on paper, mixed media and gallery wrapped canvases. Most of the work is non-objective. The show will run through March 4.

Wines of the Month – 2012 La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha Blanca & 2012 Honoro Vera Merlot

February 1, 2014 · by ·

label from La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha Blanca from SomonTAno, Spain

2012 La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha Blanca, Somontano, Spain                  $15

This month the white we are offering, 2012 La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha Blanca, is produced in Somontano in Northern Spain by Vinas Del Vero. This is a unique wine since the Garnacha Blanca is only cultivated in Spain and is not widely known. It is an aromatic wine with apple and citrus notes. On the palate this is a soft wine with a moderate, balanced acidity. It is a food friendly wine and an excellent pairing for spicy foods or simple grilled fish. Alcohol: 13.5%

 

label from Honoro Vera 2012 Merlot from Jumilla Spain

 

2012 Honoro Vera Merlot, Jumilla, Spain         $11

This wine is produced by Bodegas Juan Gil. We have offered several wines from this producer and find all to have great quality and value. Merlot is not a native grape in Spain but growing conditions in the Jumilla region are very favorable for the varietal. This 100% Merlot is an intense, juicy mouthful of red berry and blackberry. It has some spice and a smoky finish. This is also a versatile wine that pairs with pastas, soups and roasted or grilled meats. Alcohol: 15%
