She was staying in downtown (as in downtown, downtown since you have to specify in Atlanta) and we picked a great place to scoop her up and go to dinner in the area that is super gluten-free friendly, which is always difficult for her to find. Luckily Alma Cocina is great about it and has an entire menu, almost the size of the regular, that she could choose from! And it's Argentinian, which is where Jessica celebrated her honeymoon just over a year ago!
Jessica is a wine lover too, and we picked out a Rioja we hadn't had before, got a taste and two bottles later I think this may be a staple in our house!
Cune (C.V.N.E) was founded in 1879 by two brothers and is still run by their direct descendants in Northern Spain. We sampled a 2009 Crianza, which is 80% tempranillo and totally velvetted (is that a word??) out by 10% granacha tinta and 10% manuelo (which I've never heard of).
From Winex.com: dark ruby/purple color, loads of fruit (black currants and cherries), licorice and forest floor notes, a supple texture, medium body, and considerable flavor authority as well as character.
I really did find it velvety and fruity, with almost no spice or tannins, which I love.
