Salvador Dali....

Salvador Dali labels.....

2004 Bodegas Altanza Lealtanza Rioja Reserva Miro...$61.99 / bottle
3 different labels
"The 2004 Lealtanza Reserva Spanish Artist Collection features a gorgeous Salvador Dali painting on the label attached to the heavy, custom-made bottle. As with last year’s Miro label, the wine stands up to the quality of the art work. The Tempranillo grapes were sourced from 75+-year-old estate vineyards and aged for 18 months in new Allier French oak. Opaque purple-colored, the wine features a splendid perfume of wood smoke, vanilla, fresh road tar, mineral, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate the wine is obviously youthful yet elegant. There are layers of spicy black fruits, ripe tannin, excellent balance, and a long finish. Give it 5-7 years in the cellar and drink it through 2030."
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate












Torre Galatea Perelada Rose Cava "Salvadar Dali"...$28.99
"Visitors to Salvador Dalí’s visitors house in Port Lligat were always greeted with a glass of Castilla Perelada Rosado cava. Castillo Perelada has joined forces with the Fundación Gala-Salvador Dalí to create a cava to commemorate this fact. The Torre Galatea that gives its name to this cava is one of the most identifiable images in Dali’s universe. Dalí and Miguel Mateu, founder of our bodega, were prolific correspondents over the years, and the Dali-style typography used on the label originates in these letters." -- importer


"After it had been baptised and decorated by Salvador Dali, Torre Galatea was to become the painter's last residence and, later, part of the museum and the foundation that bear his name.  The enigmatic ants which run over so many of the surrealist genius masterpieces now also surround the bottle of Cava Brut Rosado Torre Galatea" -- bottle.
