Enye Or No?

The English language could look a lot sultrier with a single addition, ño?

Don't you just love the "enye"? No, not the 90s new age pop sensation Enya, though yes she is delightful in her own right. "Enye" is how you pronounce this Spanish character: Ñ, and it's capable of making just about anything look exotic and mysterious.

Take this Bodegas Paso Robles Albariño wine. Without the ñ your eye would probably just skim over the title, but with it the imagination runs wild. What sensual ñotes of apricot and grapefruit does this wiñe coñtaiñ? With what ñosh would it pair well? Spicy bañaña peppers? Dungeoñous crab? The possibilities are iñfiñite.

It's eveñ capable of spiciñg up otherwise blañd-seeming food añd driñk. "Hola, señor, would you like a side of mayoññaise with that sañdwich?" See what I mean? That sounds like a sañdwich of questioñable moral fiber. How exhilaratiñg!

Albariño is native to Spain, where it is grown in the Rias Baixas appellation in Galicia region (that part of Spain above Portugal).  This is the only part of Spain situated on the cooler waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  This varietal grows best in areas with salty ocean breezes in the afternoon and cool nights, exactly the growing conditions in Edna Valley, which is only a few miles from the Pacific Ocean and about 30 miles south of Paso Robles.

Weather conditions in 2011 were challenging in the late spring, with severe frost in April.  Edna Valley escaped most of the problems experienced in Paso Robles, but rain was looming when the grapes were harvested in late October.  The grapes had good color and soft tannins with higher acidity, characteristic of the 2011 harvest.
