Weekly Wine Review - Spanish White - 2011 Pagos Del Ray Analivia Rueda

I am a huge huge (huge) fan of many Spanish red wines and Spanish Cavas (Spain's answer to Champagne) and have been for many years. Recently I have been becoming more and more a fan of Spanish whites.  If you are looking for a white that will go really well with lighter dishes, Albariño from Galacia in Spain is a great choice. Today I am going to try a white wine from a region I've never tried before - Rueda.
