Such was the case for our company's President who started Spanish Abroad Inc. nearly 15 years ago after studying at a Spanish immersion program in Costa Rica for four months. Josh, President of Spanish Vines is another travelling student who chose their path in life while studying abroad in Spain. Here is his story:
…I studied abroad in Oviedo, Asturias, a beautiful city in Northern Spain. Each Wednesday, I would gather with fellow students for lunch at a small restaurant called La Cata del Milan. La Cata boasts a broad offering of Spanish wines and every time I visited, I would grill the waiters for details about the week's featured vintage.
After a few weeks of kindly enduring my enthusiasm, I suspect the staff thought to make me someone else's problem and introduced me to Javier, the restaurant's owner. My Spanish was barely coherent at the time, and his English was little better, but our respective visions — and the passion needed to realize them — were instantly recognizable to one another.
It would not be long after this first meeting that Javier and I would sit together and map out the concept for Spanish Vines. The result is a unique approach that keeps us traveling the diverse regions of Spain, in search of the finest wines this beautiful country has to offer.
We wish Spanish Wines well in bringing some of the best wines of Spain to the United States and can't wait to see their display at our local wine store.
