Tapateria Tapatria

The wine list at Tapateria reads like someone actually went to Spain, wandered off the tourist trail, and took notes. Forty bottles, almost entirely Iberian, leaning hard into indigenous grapes most Colorado diners couldn't name — and that's exactly the point. This isn't a list built around what sells; it's built around what's interesting.

Galicia shows up strong with the A Telleira Godello and Avancia Cuvée de O Mencía, both solid representatives of Spain's northwest and a clear signal that whoever curated this list knows their regions. The Villota Selvanevada Blanco and Alto Horizonte Altitud round out a range that spans Atlantic freshness to high-altitude Castilian weight. The Pedro Ximénez de Añada is a nod to dessert-wine territory that most tapas spots wouldn't bother with. Gaps exist — you won't find much Priorat or Ribera depth — but for 40 bottles, the intentionality here punches well above its weight.

By-the-glass specifics aren't confirmed from available data, so we can't count pours or guarantee rotation. What we can say is that with pricing this accessible on the bottle side, the by-the-glass program — whatever it looks like — should be an easy yes.
