Aside from Southern Seasons, try the internet: http://www.tienda.com

They specialize in Spanish imports. Yes, real Spanish imports. I know
they are real 'cause I am a (satisfied) customer. You'll find there
Cheese, Chocolate, cookies, olives...

For Wines, well, I always rely on my winedealer. I recomend you to try
"Tempranillo" variety of wines and "Manchego" area wines. Do not get
lured by Riojas and Penedes. Some Tempranillos, Manchegos,
Somontanos... are way better and, with no hype about them, they are an
excellent deal.

Also, try (Californian) Wente's Duetto. I just tried and, although I
would like a little more of aftertaste, it is a very intersting and
good wine.

Ask me anytime if you need guidance.

And if you find authentic Georgian wine, call me immediately!




Salut,
