I was dining at Sabroso Latin World Cuisine in Rhinebeck, N.Y., a fun little Hudson Valley town with a burgeoning foodie culture. I was taking care of my jones for Spanish food with some grilled shrimp and chorizo to start, followed by a very solid paella. Nancy and I used to adore Alejandro Fernandez’s Pesquera bottlings, but it’s been a few years since we added any to our cellar as we found the wine wandering down a progressively rustic streak. Still, we decided to take a trip down memory lane.
