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. 6 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.
