Spain.\u00a0 Although Spain is the latest wine producing powerhouse to experience an oenological renaissance, it has caught up to the other big boys in a hurry, and in many cases surpassed other wine producing nations in both the quality and value it offers the wine drinker.\u00a0 Once known almost exclusively for its rich traditional Rioja Reservas and fine Sherries, Spain now fashions an enormous array of delicious wines, both red and white, from every corner of the country.\u00a0 And happily Spain has not thrown the proverbial baby out with the bath water: instead contemporary and
