When Marimar Torres visits Ontario, I am reminded of just how cosmopolitan wine has become. Of course, most of us still associate Torres with Spain, especially the northern province of Penedes. In the age of diversification though, the old and great Gran Coronas from the Penedes vineyards compete with the Torres wines from their winery in California, and more recently with some outstanding white wines from Bodegas Torres in Chile. It was back in the mid 1850s when Jaime Torres emigrated from Spainto Cuba and made enough money in a few years to return to Spain and estab- lish a bodega â€" a winery near When California became fashion- able in wine circles, Torres was quick to take advantage and established -â€" amid great fanfare â€" awinery in Sanoma with good wine and outstand- ing Spanish food prepared by Marimar herself. Marimar Torres broke with tradition as cooking and running a-winery which is not consid- ered very lady-like in Spain. She remains back in California to operate the American winer as the president. The success of the house was given new stimulus at the beginning of the 1960s with the arrival of Grandson Miguel Jr., a French-trained winemak- er. It was during the years following his guidance that Torres wines of Spain established an international rep- utation with their native wines.

The red Torres Coronas is a medi- um-bodied wine with complex flavors that will give me a hint of ripe straw- berries and blackbem'es. Although the- wine has some fine tannins, I find it soft to drink and excellent with just about any food including pasta. The Coronas is listed under CSPC 29728 for $8.60 a bottle.From the Chilean Tom winery, you might try the white and dry Torres Sauvignon Blanc, list- ed under CSPC 188474 â€" a rather good buy for a decent wine at $7.85. Chardonnay and Parellada grown in the mountain regions of Penedes. This is a good wine to accompany seafood and light, grilled meats, while pleasant enough to be sippedâ€"on its own. g TRAFALGAR w x5 am: Mom" i7 mIIEAl “ iHE’ meluimqgggyalou 333-1130“ _(OAKVILLE) REALTY INC. fir; film mum no p'Assgg >‘ll-t-‘twilii Llfliaxltl: xP.‘leC‘fi mmmww mm. mm “WWW“ 4 Call your local HAG Wine for more information!
