We had a moment of pleasure a few days ago when we went to BGC for the Sta. Rita Tapas Night. Rich tasting food, Spanish tapas, a real deal Spanish guy was there to show us the ropes about what it should feel like if we were to have Castillian flare in our food and wine.

Sta. Rita, a brand of wine from Chile hosted "Of Tannins, Tapas and Tarots" to further intensify their call for making moments "enjoyable". It's when they also dished out 120, a wine combination so they could concoct the best Sauvignon Blanc, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon to ever land Manila. The number is related to the 120 patriots which legend says fought for Chile's independence in 1814. Men who fought that long and hard battle took refuge in today's estate cellars which houses the wines in it. That's real deal history in every bottle.
Thank you so much for Tapeo, a place where they held the event for getting those scrumptious tapas and bottles of Sta. Rita wines. I'd like to go back there with friends and family. We also saw flamenco dancers, a fortuneteller (which I was almost certain she was talking about love life!) and the lovely Santa Rita wines and tapas served that evening. The brand is now available in major wine stores, liquor stalls in big groceries nationwide! I love that it's going to be a great everyday wine for Filipinos, it's legit and I love the White wine the best. You should get a bottle for that special dinner you're having next time!
