Title: Shumard oak or live oak in Waco TX?
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Dear Mr Smarty Plants, I planted 2 small Shumard oaks in my front yard (east side of the house, 8-9 hours of sun per day) 18 months ago. Both had been purchased from a national chain store's garden center. After I planted them, my neighbor said that he and 2 other neighbors had no success with the Shumard/ Red oaks and had replaced them with live oaks which obviously have done well in their yards. We are in heavy clay with a gentle slope to the street. And, my Shumards' leaves looked good until late May, when the far ends of the leaves began to get brown and die, but still retained some green close to the stem. I automatically watered my yard 3x/ week this summer for about 30 minutes per time and watered the trees about once more each week. They have not grown taller or put out any new branches since planted! How long before I replace them with live oaks?!
Actually, we have no idea which would be the best choice for you, and sure wouldn't give you a date to cut down the tree you have. About all we can do is list their similiarities and differences (if any). You know what your property is like, what you want it to be like, and that should be what makes the decision, not hearsay.
Quercus shumardii (Shumard's oak) - matures to from 50 to 90 ft. tall, native to the Central Texas area.
Growing Conditions:
Water Use: Medium
Light Requirement: Sun , Part Shade
Soil Moisture: Moist , Dry
CaCO3 Tolerance: Low
Cold Tolerant: yes
Soil Description: Sandy, Sandy Loam Medium Loam, Clay Loam, Clay, Limestone-based, Caliche type
Conditions Comments: Quercus shumardii is a relatively fast-growing and adaptable oak. This species is quite drought resistant and also withstands short-term flooding. It is similar to the Texas or Spanish oak, but prefers deeper soils and tends to grow taller and straighter. Provides good fall foliage color.
From the Oak Wilt Partnership (in which the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a partner), Oak Wilt in Texas: "Shumard Oak is extremely susceptible and may play a unique role in the establishment of new oak wilt infection."
Quercus fusiformis (plateau oak) - one of several of the species Quercus with the common name "live oak;" this one is native to the McLennan County area. Grows to 20 to 40 ft. tall. Not a true evergreen; most of its leaves turn brown and fall off in early Spring, but are replaced by new green leaves in two or three weeks.
Growing Conditions:
Water Use: Low
Light Requirement: Sun , Part Shade
Soil Moisture: Dry
Cold Tolerant: yes
Soil Description: Rocky, limestone soils. Calcareous, Limestone-based, Sandy, Sandy Loam, Medium Loam, Clay Loam Clay Caliche type
Conditions Comments: Plateau oak or escarpment live oak is a thicket-forming tree that is nearly identical in appearance to, and considered much hardier than, Q. virginiana. A short, tapering trunk supports picturesquely gnarled branches and limbs. Evergreen leaves are leathery and unlobed.
From the same Oak Wilt Partnership: "Live oaks are intermediate in susceptiblity to Oak Wilt but are more seriously affected due to their tendency to grow from root sprouts and form vast interconnected root systems that allow movement (or spread) of the fungus between adjacent trees."
In summary, the Shumard oak can grow larger, the live oak is semi-evergreen, both are native to Central Texas, and both pose threats of Oak Wilt, which cannot be cured, and has laid waste to oak trees in many parts of Texas and other states. We suggest you read the entire Oak Wilt Partnership website before you make your decision. Beyond that, these trees have pretty similar growing conditions, and it's a personal choice on which to grow.

By Benjamin Goad - 07/16/13 04:56 PM EDT
Efforts to implement the largest overhaul of food safety regulations in 70 years could be imperiled by a provision included in the House-passed farm bill headed to the Senate on Tuesday.
The House legislation, approved last week, contains an amendment requiring the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a "scientific and economic analysis" of regulations drafted under the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA), further delaying the enactment of new food safety rules.
Food safety advocates have complained that the enactment of the new standards has been fraught with delays, and have taken the Obama administration to court in an effort to speed up the process. The FDA now faces a June 2015 deadline to finalize the rules meant to protect the public.
The House bill language, penned by Rep. Dan Benishek (R-Mich.), would further complicate enactment of the rules.
"This basically would slow the wheels of FSMA implementation by allowing another roadblock," said Colin O'Neil, director of government affairs for the Center for Food Safety.
Sen. Tom Harkin (Iowa) is among the congressional Democrats who are critical of the provision, tweeting last week that the bill "would undermine critical food safety law — while food-borne illness affects 1 in 6/year."
Benishek drafted the provision to protect farmers in his state from burdensome regulations, his spokesman said.
"Simply put, we lose jobs in Northern Michigan when Washington bureaucrats enact costly new rules that hurt our farmers and agricultural businesses," Kyle Bonini said.
The House was to send its bill to the other end of the Capitol Building on Tuesday after Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) accused GOP leaders of dragging their feet on the bill.
Once it is received in the Senate, Democrats could appoint members of a House-Senate conference committee tasked with reconciling the bill with legislation passed earlier in the upper chamber.
O'Neil said he was hopeful that Harkin, a member of the Agriculture Committee and chairman of the Senate Health Committee, and other food safety proponents, would be appointed to participate in the upcoming negotiations.

To determine whether developmental synaptic pruning defects in epileptic C1q-knockout (KO) mice are accompanied by postsynaptic abnormalities in dendrites and/or spines.
Immunofluorescence staining was performed on biocytin-filled layer Vb pyramidal neurons in sensorimotor cortex. Basal dendritic arbors and their spines were reconstructed with NEUROLUCIDA software, and their morphologic characteristics were quantitated in Neuroexplorer.
Key Findings
Seven to nine completely filled pyramidal neurons were analyzed from the wild-type (WT) and C1q KO groups. Compared to WT controls, KO mice showed significant structural modifications in their basal dendrites including (1) higher density of dendritic spines (0.60 ± 0.03/μm vs. 0.49 ± 0.03/μm dendritic length in WT, p < 0.05); (2) remarkably increased occurrence of thin spines (0.26 ± 0.02/μm vs. 0.14 ± 0.02/μm dendritic length in control, p < 0.01); (3) longer dendritic length (2,680 ± 159 μm vs. 2,119 ± 108 μm in control); and (4) increased branching (22.6 ± 1.9 vs. 16.2 ± 1.3 in WT at 80 μm from soma center, p < 0.05; 12.4 ± 1.4 vs. 8.2 ± 0.6 in WT at 120 μm from soma center, respectively, p < 0.05). Dual immunolabeling demonstrated the expression of putative glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) on some thin spines. These dendritic alterations are likely postsynaptic structural consequences of failure of synaptic pruning in the C1q KO mice.
Failure to prune excessive excitatory synapses in C1q KO mice is a likely mechanism underlying abnormalities in postsynaptic dendrites, including increased branching and alterations in spine type and density. It is also possible that seizure activity contributes to these abnormalities. These structural abnormalities, together with increased numbers of excitatory synapses, likely contribute to epileptogenesis in C1q KO mice.

I am 4 months into a new job. I work in a office, and the majority of my job is on the computer. The office lighting is all ceiling and fluorescent lights. Nearly everyday....I find myself dizzy, nauseated, and with a headache. I have a history of migraines. Shopping in stores with bright fluorescent lights and glare have always been triggers. What can I do? Does this sound normal for the situation? Jessica-OhioREAD MORE
What makes both fluorescent lighting and some computer monitors potential triggers is that they flicker. The flicker isn't visible, but it's there. Glare can also be a problem.
You can find tips for handling these issues in this article -- Migraines at Work? Check the Lighting.

Good luck,
Hi Jessica,
What kind of monitor do you have at work? If it is the older crt-style, then flicker can definitely be a problem. If you have the newer flat screen lcd displays then I believe the problem is much less. Flicker used to drive me crazy. Sometimes I would not notice flicker unless I saw the monitor out of the corner of my eye.READ MORE

Loan Officer Training Programs and Requirements
Loan officers help businesses and consumers secure financing for purchases or investments. These financial professionals may specialize in mortgage, commercial or consumer loans and are often employed by financial institutions, such as banks. A bachelor's degree is generally preferred for commercial and consumer loan functions, while a certificate of completion is usually sufficient for entry-level mortgage loan officer positions.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
A high school graduate with strong marks in mathematics courses is an ideal applicant for a loan officer training program. Students with prior felony convictions are not eligible to become loan officers. Since loan officers interact a great deal with the public, interpersonal and communication skills are important attributes to have. Employers prefer loan officers with self-confidence, strong computer skills and some sales experience.
To work as a loan officer, a bachelor's degree in finance or a related area is preferred, but some employers will provide on the job training or hire those with certificates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), mortgage loan officers must be licensed nationwide.
Formal Education
Prospective loan officers have a couple of training options before working in the field, including a mortgage loan officer certificate program and a bachelor's degree in finance.
Mortgage Loan Officer Certificate
Many private institutions and some community colleges offer training for loan officers specializing in mortgages. A loan officer who brokers mortgage loans needs training on how to manage the intake process, prepare financial documents and read a rate sheet, among other tasks. Certificate programs walk students through the processes surrounding the initial consultation, the loan application, consumer education of mortgage loans and loan finalization. Federal regulations concerning consumer rights, predatory lending practices, equal opportunity lending and good faith estimates are also discussed.
Bachelor of Science in Finance
Employers often seek commercial loan officers with a bachelor's degree because of the intricacies involved in processing a commercial loan, such as analyzing business statements. A bachelor's degree program in finance provides students entering the lending market with the skills needed to negotiate and present financial deals for the benefit of a business or consumer. Through homework assignments in such courses as statistics, strategic management and banking, students build critical thinking skills. A finance degree program also emphasizes the need for computer proficiency and business writing skills to be competitive in the banking industry.
Job Experience
The responsibilities of a loan officer are typically the same whether they involve consumer, mortgage or business loans. Students who may have worked as a bank teller may find that the transition to a loan officer is easier than for those with no previous work experience. Most employers offer a training period, generally 2-4 weeks, before allowing them to work independently. After the training period, loan officers should be able to counsel clients, analyze a customer's credit worthiness, evaluate loans and guide the process to close.
Licenses and Certifications
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, all loan officers processing mortgage loans must be licensed. Before becoming eligible for licensure, candidates must finish a designated amount of courses, pass a test and be cleared by a background check. Continuing education requirements differ by state.
The National Association of Mortgage Brokers has a general mortgage associate certification for entry-level loan officers. This voluntary credential requires a written examination consisting of 125 multiple-choice questions and an exam fee.
Workshops and Seminars
Tele-seminars are a popular way for prospective loan officers to learn about increasing business, working with real estate agents and utilizing marketing techniques. Most seminars require an entry fee, and some in-person seminars might involve an overnight travel stay. Banking associations, training schools and some real estate companies offer afternoon workshops for entry-level loan officers to network, ask questions and learn about sub-specialties, such as Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans.
Additional Professional Development
Several online loan officer training programs are available for students beginning their career in finance, with many courses accredited for pre-licensing education. These courses are designed by industry professionals and are available through webinar or strictly online communication. Most distance learning programs for loan officers, which may meet twice a week, are complete with reference materials and frequent access to instructors.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Key budget-related legislation on tap for consideration Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Senate covers topics from how oil and gas drilling should be regulated to how billions of dollars for public schools should be spent, despite complaints that it trips over constitutional guidelines that bills be limited to a single subject.
Wide-ranging budget bill could end up in court
Aides to top Republicans say courts have allowed the Legislature's practice of creating a wide-ranging "fiscal code" bill that guides how money from a general appropriations bill is to be spent, as long as each subject is linked by clear wording to how the money is spent.
"An omnibus fiscal code bill is not something that is per se unconstitutional," said Drew Crompton, the chief counsel for Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson. "In fact, (the state Supreme Court) said just the opposite."
Still, some Democratic lawmakers contend the bill is unconstitutional.
"Ultimately, it will be up to a court to decide, if someone wants to press the issue," said Bill Patton, a spokesman for House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny.
The bill began Jan. 23, 2013, as four pages that set guidelines for reimbursing rural hospitals that treat the poor or uninsured.
That is largely how it passed the House last September before a Senate committee overhauled it on June 30. After closed-door negotiations between leaders of the House and Senate Republican majorities, gone was the rural-hospital wording and replacing it was 110 new pages.
Those pages guide the distribution of billions of dollars for public schools and hospitals, change how oil and gas drilling is regulated in the state, establish a new community college in northwestern Pennsylvania and allow another $10 fee on certain state court filings.
Other provisions reduce the license fee that bar owners must pay to operate forms of gambling and cement the case for a new round of leasing publicly owned lands for natural gas drilling.

Oil-dominated economy with large reserves under the Caspian Sea. Baku was the world's original oil-boom city a century ago. The post-Communist switch to a market economy has been marred by bureaucracy, organized crime, rampant corruption, collapse of oil prices, ecological disasters and the effects of the war with Armenia. The majority of the population live in poverty. Living standards are steadily deteriorating. HDI 0.695; 103rd/174. Public debt 6% of GNP. Income/person $480 (1.6% of USA).
A long history of subjugation by Arabs, Mongols, Persians, Turks and Russians. Independent in 1991 from the USSR. It's first decade has been difficult internal coups and war with Armenia over the largely Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in West Azerbaijan. Armenia occupies 20% of Azeri territory. Over one million Azeris have become refugees. Pan-Turkism and affinity with Turkey and the West, as well as a desire to escape Russian political manipulation, determine government policy.
Official religious freedom is tempered by reaction against 'Christian' Russian and Armenian hostility, and fears of Islamist extremism. Foreigners are prohibited from engaging in 'religious propaganda'. Muslims are largely either Shi'a (70%) or Sunni (30% in the north).
Answers to Prayer
1 For the first time there are now Azeri churches and possibly 2,000 Azeri believers in the country. In 1990 there were estimated to be only 40 Azeri believers in the world.
2 A decade of relative freedom for the gospel despite opposition.
Challenges for Prayer
1 Azerbaijan's political situation is complex and potentially dangerous. The unresolved conflict with Armenia and the growing international confrontation between Armenia, Russia and Iran on one side and Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia and NATO countries on the other over the exploitation and transport of oil could lead to war. Pray for peace with a just resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflicta legacy of Stalin's border re-alignments.
2 Christianity is associated with Russian imperialism and Armenian occupation of much of Azeri territory. Post-independence openness to the gospel has been diminished by resentment, rising nationalism, legal restrictions on proselytising and the propaganda of Islamists. Pray that these hindrances may be bound in the name of Jesus and that many Azeris find peace with God.
3 Azerbaijani believers continue to increase in number. Many are in Baku where there are several congregations with a majority of Azeris. Pray for the maturing of upcoming Azeri leaders, their growth in ministry and for good fellowship among them. There are several small Bible schools in Baku. There needs to be better coordination of training ministries. Pray for a strong Church with an effective witness to non-Christians.
4 The majority of Christians are Russian-speaking or from other ethnic minorities. Some evangelical churches have had great difficulty in obtaining official recognition and permission to find places for worship. Pray for their witness to the majority Muslim population that it may be with humility, sensitivity and love.
5 Nagorno-Karabakh and its surrounding area is almost entirely Armenian. Armenia began the expulsion of Azeris from Armenia in 1987-88, then the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh attempted to have its sovereignty transferred to Armenia. Due to the unstable situation created by the influx of refugees from Armenia, and the death throes of the Soviet Union, agitators were able to exploit the situation. This led to the massacre of Armenians in Sumgayit in 1989, provoking the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh to declare independence in 1990, culminating in warfare. Armenia wants to annex the region which is impoverished and deeply affected economically and socially by the war. Orthodox churches have been re-established but there is little known non-Orthodox evangelical witness. Pray for the gospel to be proclaimed, forgiveness given and received and a Christian lifestyle to be manifested to their Muslim neighbours.
6 Expatriate Christians have difficulty obtaining visas, but a number are seeking to live for the Lord through secular openings and NGO projects. They are forbidden to engage in 'religious propaganda'. Pray for the calling and entry of new workers and the long-term fruitfulness of their ministries despite the restrictions.
a) Most of the Azerbaijani towns and villages have never been evangelized.
b) In 2000 there were still 600,000 homeless and largely unemployed refugees from Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Pray for compassionate ministry to them.
c) The Caucasus peoples are almost all Muslim and unevangelized. The only exceptions are the Georgians and Udi who are traditionally Christian. Pray for the Lezgi, Avar and Tsakhur peoples.
d) The Indo-Iranian speaking minorities of Tat, Talysh and Kurds are unreached.
8 Christian help ministries. Pray for the impact of:
a) Christian literature. The Azeri NT and Children's Bible as well as the Russian Bible are widely available for sale. There are 11 Azeri Christian titles printed and 25 in preparation. It is hard to import adequate stocks of new publications or to print them locally. Pray for obstacles and restrictions to be removed and permission to publish books to be granted. A Christian bookstore has opened in Baku.
b) Bible translation. The Azeri Bible in both N. and S. Azeri should be completed by 2002. There are 5 languages that need assessment for NT translation. Work is in progress in Avar, Jewish and Muslim Tat, Lezgi and Tsakhur. Pray for their successful publishing and distribution.
c) Christian radio. World by 2000 languages: Azeri (FEBA ¾ hour), Kurmanji (TWR ½ hour) and Georgian (HCJB ¼ hour) are broadcast weekly. IBRA Radio has enabled local recording and distributing of audio and video cassettes. Pray for local and national opportunities to broadcast Christian material regularly. A major need is a radio station to deliver medium wave signals internationally.
d) The JESUS film is available in Avar, N. Azeri, Kurmanji, Lezgi, Russian and Talysh.

The recession humor industry seems destined for a collapse, not because of an economic upturn that would make these gags irrelevant, but because these businesses have already exhausted their comic rations, apparently long before creating currently available on their Web sites. A complement to Recession Junction's superfluous novelties, Depressing Times slaps groaner financial punchlines onto the same bullshit vintage images greeting-card idiots have been using for years. Look how far they had to stretch for this meager payoff:
This postcard does wring unintended laughs from its clueless misappropriation of a slavery-era phrase:

I liked the product. It worked well on my fiberglass, and removed the stains from the high iron content in our water. I especially liked the pleasant smell. It was neither harsh nor perfumey.
excellent Canadian product! Cleans my shower grout really well. I like the smell and did not find it overwhelming as others have.
Cleans great, but for me the smell is overwhelming. In the last year or more, I've been using vinegar, soda and castile soaps, which is very mellow when it comes to odour. I'll buy fragrance free next time.

The Passion Prophecy
- Look inside(2) Listen (1)
- Format:
The Passion Prophecy composed by Cathy Moklebust. For handbells (3 octaves) / handbells (5 octaves) (with optional 3-5 octave handchimes). Holy Week, Lent, Sacred. Level 3+. Handbell score. Published by Chorister's Guild (LO.CGB584).
Level 3+ - This dramatic original work is a musical interpretation of the text from Isaiah 53:4-5: "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. . .." A simple accompaniment of quarter-note chords lies under the plaintive yet lyrical melody, which grows and develops throughout the first section. The melody and the accompaniment become increasingly more complex and aggressive until reaching a dissonant, fortissimo climax, when random ringing with chimes delicately accompanies a return of the melody. Appropriate during Lent or whenever this scripture passage is used (RCL, Year B, Proper 24.).

Favorite Herbs
Hello again,
I have a strawberry planter I want to use to plant herbs in on my deck. It is the smaller pot so I have room for about 6 herbs. What are the best/favorites for our area and to grow in the pot?
Thank You, Kay
I like oregano and thyme. The oregano dies back in winter but comes back from the roots, and the thyme stays green even through the winter. They might need a little more protection in the pot though (mine are in the ground). Someone else may have some others to add.
Chives or garlic chives for the pot.
My favorite of the herbs I grow is rosemary but it grows too big for a strawberry pot. I love it with lemon on chicken and with garlic on steak. Love to just grab it when I get the mail too. Love the smell.
I loved the look of a fully planted herb pot in books, so have tried to recreate it in 3 different strawberry pots with limited success as compared to other larger pots. Even if you put a PVC pipe with holes in it the pots limit growth and don't stay moist for the moist loving herbs.
We've tried rosemary, thyme, oregano, calendula, pansies, cilantro, parsley, garlic chives, and chamomile in strawberry pots. Thyme, oregano, & garlic chives remain. The others were either annuals, died, or were moved to in ground plantings because the pots limit the spreading habit of the herbs where they root along the stems later in summer.
Last year, I emptied 2 of my 3 to plant in the ground instead and those plants have tripled in size in comparison to what is in the pots. The strawberry pots get hot in sunshine & don't allow a lot of root room except for the top spots. Sedums are growing nicely in the 2 tall strawberry pots now.
The strawberry pot herbs were just not enough production to harvest all summer as well as have extra to freeze for winter. They are lovely when planted, just don't stay that way long. Takes daily watering July until fall rains.
We potted up herbs last year as gifts to family members into large patio planters divided into 3 groups:
heat loving better drainage: rosemary, lavendar, thyme
moist, rich: parsley, basil thai & sweet, onion chives, oreganos
moist, rich: pot in pot planted peppermint & spearmint
Oregano & thyme also planted in solo containers for gifts & for ourselves. These are all doing well except for the rosemary that got too cold.
Still the herbs in the ground are doing the best and are the ones with the largest harvest. The plants in my remaining 4 pocket strawberry pot are cute & tiny except for the thyme which has hung over the side.

Arzuaga - Castilla Y Leon - Spain - Ribera Del Duero
Professional Wine Reviews for Arzuaga Reserva 2009Additional information »
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
The Tempranillo grape varietal is often referred to as Spain's 'noble grape', and has over the past century been planted in several countries around the world. Tempranillo grapes produce beautiful ruby red wines, packed full of fascinating flavors which range from intensely fruity, to deep, dark and spicy, holding notes of vanilla, tobacco and leather. Their black skins hold plenty of tannins, and as such, they are often blended with other more rounded or brighter wines, to balance out the character and produce some truly exceptional examples. Tempranillo grapes often fall to a wide range of diseases, and are greatly effected by climatic conditions. They tend to grow best, however, in areas with a mixture of heat and bright sunshine, and brisk breezes which can cool the vines.
In the heart of Spain, we find the beautiful - if somewhat arid and occasionally desolate - wine region of Castilla y Leon. Castilla y Leon is the largest wine region in Spain, covering a huge plateau rising up from its surroundings, and characterized by its dry and cracked soils, and intense summer heat. Such weather conditions can often make viticulture difficult, but the wineries which work in the region have generations of experience and expertise when it comes to making the most of the beautiful red and white wine grape varietals which grow well there. From Tempranillo to Verdejo, Castilla y Leon really has something to suit every palate, and offers the world a range of wines full of the passion and flavors of Spain.
From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
