Columbia Restaurant & the Gonzmart Family's Wine Philosophy Columbia Restaurant & the Gonzmart Family’s Wine Philosophy At the Columbia Restaurant we believe the relationship of wine and food is an essential part of the dining experience and that two aspects of elegant dining deserve specialized attention: The preparation and serving of the cuisine and the selection of the finest wines and stemware to accompany it. In keeping with our tradition of serving the most elegant Spanish dishes, we have chosen to feature a collection of Spain's finest wines and a selection of American wines, sparkling whites and Champagne. Our wines are stored in our wine cellar in a climate controlled environment at 55° Fahrenheit with 70% humidity. The Columbia Restaurant’s wine list represents 4th and 5th generation, owner and operators, Richard and Andrea Gonzmart’s lifetime involvement in their family’s business. Their passion for providing guests the best wines from Spain, as well as their personal favorites from California, are reflected in every selection. They believe wines should be affordable and represent great value. Columbia Restaurant's variety of wines illustrates the depth of knowledge and concern the Gonzmart family possesses, by keeping abreast of the wine market in the United States and by traveling to Spain. This is all done for the enjoyment of our guests. We are confident that you will find the perfect wine to make your meal a memorable one.

Spanish wine is at least three thousand years old. This beautiful country with its extreme contrasts in climate, and soil produces a wide variety of wine: from delicate fine Sherries to rich dessert wine, old vintage wines to strong and hearty reds. Today, Spain’s winemakers are adapting modern practices while also respecting the country’s honored winemaking traditions. In addition, new wine laws inspire visionary producers to experiment with traditional and international grape varieties in regions never before known for quality or in unexplored territory. The resulting wines are rich and lively, crafted in styles that are recognizably “Spanish” and complement a wide range of today’s cuisines. This new world of wines in an old-world setting offers fertile ground for enjoyable exportation. This wine list illustrates the depth of knowledge and concern the Gonzmart family possess’, by keeping abreast of the wine market in Europe by traveling to Spain two or three times a year. Each Spanish wine region can be defined in its elevation and its proximity to the ocean or the sea. To break Spain’s geography into its autonomous regions we have broken the country into climatic categories. 7 Understanding Spanish Wines The wines of Spain can be divided into several regions, each one very different from the rest. Each wine region can be defined in its elevation and in its proximity to the ocean or the sea. To get a more thorough understanding of the places, vineyards, grapes and styles of wines, the country can be divided into 7 climatic categories: Green Valley The Mediterranean Coast Andalucía The Islands Duero River Valley Ebro River Valley The Meseta Within these climatic categories are smaller regions referred to as denominaciónes (similar to the French appellation) whose wine is regulated for quality according to specific laws. The denominación is part of a wider hierarchy of quality-graded descriptors for Spanish wine regions, as follows (highest quality first): • Denominación de Origen or DO: official classification for wines which follow strict production standards. • Vino de Calidad Producido en Región Determinada or VCPRD: another official appellation system following new standards established by the European Union. • Denominación de Pago ou DO de Pago: a recent classification aspiring to the very highest standards with extremely strict geographical criteria. • Denominación de Origen Calificada or DOCa (Catalan: Denominació d'Origen Qualificada or DOQ): another system which reflects a constant level of quality. Only used by a few appellations. • Vino de la Tierra or VdlT: table wines of a designated origin.

We rented a car and made a big loop from Frankfurt -Koblenz / Rhine - Black forest / Castles – Munich – Berlin- Frankfurt. • After college she took a job with Honeywell, moved to Germany, got married, and eventually had our first grandchild. • When we visit we always try to visit some new vineyards. • I was surprised how many good red wines were available. So with the help of friends and family we procured and carried this collection over. German Wine - fun facts • 90% of German reds are consumed in Germany. • Very few wine retailers in America have any German red wines. • Most of the largest red producers are still too small to export to USA. • You can pay $$$ for a fine French red or drink German reds for the entire year. • As vineyard owners die they split the vineyards between siblings. Some vineyards get down to 3 rows. Siblings take turns picking the center row year to year. • High quality German Riesling does not come in a blue bottle!

El senador del Grupo Popular por Ourense, Miguel Viso, ha reclamado hoy al Gobierno, durante el debate de una moción del PP, que establezca campañas promocionales para fomentar la cultura del vino y desarrollar plataformas telemáticas de comercialización y que solicite a la Comisión Europea una financiación extra, más allá de los Programas Nacionales de Apoyo al Sector Vitivinícola Español (PASVE). La iniciativa del PP, debatida en la Comisión de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación y rechazada por los votos en contra del PSOE, también pide al Ejecutivo que apruebe un Plan Estratégico para la Internacionalización del Sector Vitivinícola, comprometiendo los recursos económicos necesarios para el apoyo de las exportaciones y la apertura de nuevos mercados, tanto en terceros países como en los países comunitarios. El último punto de la moción solicita “desarrollar acciones dirigidas a potenciar el consumo interno, garantizando la promoción interior en el marco de la Organización Común de Mercados (OCM), incluyendo el apoyo al enoturismo”.
