Due to private wine events we have to cancel the next two Monday sessions, the 1st and the 8th of December.  Check back here for the wines we’ll be serving on Monday 15 December.  Sorry for any inconvenience!

Planeta Vino Monday Night Wine Sessions:

Many of you have asked for regular classes and our Monday night sessions are our solution.  Every Monday night we will host a wonderful evening of wine at Planeta Vino

Monday Night Wine Session Part 1:  5-8PM every Monday

The evening will start at 5PM….you can stop by Planeta Vino anytime from 5 to 8 and join us in our wine lounge tasting.  This is an informal, free-form tasting….for 15€ you can select 5 Spanish wines to taste and have some light snacks.  We will change the wines every month, with a different focus each time.  We’ll have some info sheets on the wines and a Planeta Vino staff Member will be there to serve you and answer any questions. The wines will include great value wines, as well as some of Spain’s top reserva wines.   The great thing about the wine lounge tastings…no need to call ahead or reserve….just stop by whenever you can!

Monday Night Wine Session Part 2: 8-930PM every Monday

 At 8PM, we will offer a wine class…generally this will be the Intro to Spanish wine class or New Spanish Wine Stars class….but every now and then I’ll pop in a totally different Spanish wine theme.  You will taste 8 of Spain’s top wines and learn all you need to know to be an expert on Spanish wine!  The wines will be followed by some light tapas. For those of you living in Madrid…any visitors you might have can join a wine class and learn all they want to about Spanish wine!  No minimum number of people required…we will run the class with just 2 people if necessary…as long as they sign up.    

For more details on the wine class…see below.

The wine class will be 35€ each person and will always start at 8PM…please sign up ahead by email or phone for  the wine class…you can even call on Monday morning if you like!

You can sign up for any Monday night class by emailing us at info@planetavino.net or calling us at 91 310 2855.   For the wine lounge session…just stop by between 5 and 8 PM.

We want to offer a regular class for any visitors as well as all the internet requests we get on line for classes….we always feel terrible that we have to turn so many people away.  The wine will always change each month as well….I like to mix it up as much as possible!

I hope you join us some evening…our Monday night wine session is a great stop before going out to dinner or also a great way to unwind after a long day at the office.

Don’t forget to check out my wine and food blog….I’ve got some great new restaurants and wines to recommend!

Basic Class Description

We strive to give the client a fun, informative and interactive introduction to the amazing wines of Spain.  We provide each student with a handout about Spanish wines and a list of the wines to be tasted.  The brief multi-media presentation presents an overview of the Spanish wine world, introducing the clients to the characteristics of Spanish wines and the major Spanish wine regions.

For the class themed “New Spanish Stars,” we propose to serve eight premium wines from around Spain.  We will serve 2 whites and six reds.  The wines are high quality wines that provide a good introduction to the excellent value-quality relationship here in Spain.  Examples of “joven” through reserva level wines will be served.   We also like to show the whole range of quality in Spanish wines, from inexpensive wines (8-10 euros) to some high level reservas (20-30 euros).
The idea is to cover the whole Spanish wine scene through the wines presented, with special emphasis on the new up and coming regions.  We will serve a wine from each of the more traditionally famous areas, Rioja and Ribera del Duero but most of the wines will be from the many rising stars, such as Priorat, Somontano, Bierzo, Jumilla, La Mancha, and the very trendy wine category of Vinos de la Tierra.
